I have a 2001 Seat Toledo 1.9TDI, there seems to be a lot of oil on the top of the engine and appears to be coming from the turbo. There's a bit there but nothing crazy but is definitely fresh, what is the solution here and also what are the problems that could arise in the mean time, could the turbo blow i suppose or the engine??

SOURCE: SEAT TOLEDO WARNING LIGHTS

Could be the motor-management-warning light, but I guess it's the break-warning light. There might be too little breaking-fluid left in the lines ... A boardcomputer-readout should clarify this.

Otherwise, try parking on an ascending road with the nose pointing up, hit the hand-break and wait like 2 minutes; the light should come on. You might wanna retry it with the car's nose pointing downwards as well ... If so, definitely the breaking-fluid, otherwise probably not ;)

In any case - flashing warning light are never ok, so when you see it again and you're sure it's not just the ABS/ESP warning light, go and have your boardcomputer read-out, since it should contain useful errorcodes ..

SOURCE: Check engine light comes on

If the light was flashing when it came on, then it means your engine is misfiring.

A solid light can mean anything from a loose/faulty gas cap to a transmission issue.

This light comes on when the computer detects a fault of some sort in its diagnostic tests. If it keeps detecting this issue, the light will remain on. If the light turns off, then it has detected that the issue may no longer be present.

In order to find out what the exact reason was for your light, You need to have your car computer scanned to retrieve the code that the computer would have stored when the light triggered. Most garages will do this free of charge. The code will tell you what may have caused the light to initially turn on.

SOURCE: "Check Oil" warning light comes on at randum

Probably nothing whatsoever to do with you checking the dipstick. On the golf when the warning light flashes, you reset it by opening the bonnet. That is why you think that when you check the dipstick it resets, when in fact it was opening the bonnet. Check your bonnet switch

Noticed a bit of smoke coming from under the hood. Opened to look and it seems there's oil next to the valve on my turbo.

Does turbo need oil? Very much so. It has parts spinning at 30,000 rpms or so, and the bearings require oil to live. Clean cool engine thoroughly, and then run engine to find leak.

Peugeot 307 2.0 hdi 90bhpand its blowing smoke.

yes, yes, and no.. Idea: Have your oil pressure checked with a reliable gauge. If oil was low and you turned, maybe the oil pickup just couldn't get enough momentarily.
I would think you could do it yourself. Look at how many young kids work on turbos in their dad's garage.
Instructions? I don't know, but here's a possibility: Google Peugeot and find an enthusiasts forum for your car. There must be one or more for every car make by now. The good ones have lots of helpful guys who like to help other diy'ers. Good luck.

I have a 2002 l200 turbo intercooled with 105000 miles ,engine putting a slight amount of engine oil into water what can be the problem

Alrighty ... That's not a whole lot of miles, but being as it is turbo'd, maybe I can understand it. First: Watch your tailpipe. Does the exhaust appear to be white? Shut off the engine, go out, pop the hood, open up the radiator cap. Start the engine. Does the water bubble, or smoke vent off the top? It could be a broken head gasket, if it does not show these signs, it could be that instead of going into the cylinder, it moved it from the water to the oil passages. Either way, just watch that the reverse does not occur: That WOULD be disastrous.

1994 Chevy silverado 6.5L turbo diesel: My oil pressure is between 40-60 for the first few miles on the road. then drops and seems to hold steady at around 40 while my foot is on the gas, then drops...

I'm not sure why you want to change the oil again. Your oil pressure numbers appear to be normal. Replace the oil cap if it's bad. You'll have to scan the ECM for codes to find out why the the check engine light comes on.

Oil coming out of exhaust and whistling turbo

it sounds like your turbo has packed in firstly the oil seal in your turbo has failed thats why ur seeing oil from exhaust & the whistling from turbo is the vanes in turbo breaking up so i would advise not to use car until new turbo is fitted & inter cooler pipes and inter cooler itself are checked & cleaned for swarf from turbo you can check turbo by disconnecting turbo pipe &inspecting turbo vanes (fins) to see if broken up or any damage to chamber.
