Still sounds like the turbo. Unless you got it from a reputable place I would go back and get another.

SOURCE: O-ring on turbo oil return

if you clean it at the block and put on some sealer it helps,the only way to fix it if your asking this ? would be to pay a VOLVO tech to do it correct or live with it it is very common and is normally not a big leak

SOURCE: Oil in the turbo, smoking bad!

check to make sure the turbo oil return pipe is not clogged. if it is pressure will build up causing oil leak through seal causing it to smoke.

SOURCE: 2001 Volvo s40 oil leaking in turbo, smokes white

Water in combustion chamber makes white smoke--suspect that the head gasket is leaking water into the chamber. If oil leaking around turbo, it may have a bad bearing and bad oil seal. Check waste gate valve and control.

My 2002 volvo s40 1.9 T smokes really bad its bluish in color, it seems to smoke more when at a stop. its burning oil...

Blue smoke is often the result of bad rings on the pistons. Engine rebuild time. It is possible that the turbo is leaking oil into your engine.

My 1992 Mitsubishi L300 van doesnt run properly. can i get answers?

Your van has a 4G60 series(62/63/64) engine, and is now 25 years old. Loss of power can be caused by many things at this age. Most likely is worn valve stems, leaking valves, and loss of compression. Could be a failing head gasket. The first step is do dry and wet compression test, then a leak down test. If there is a lot of blue exhaust smoke, the engine is burning oil (worn head or/and piston rings). If there's white smoke, its burning coolant, and you have a blown head gasket.

Assuming the rest of the van is adequately mechanically sound, the best approach is likely rebuilding the engine with new rings, possibly rebore for oversize pistons, and a re-manufactured head.

2001 geo tracker burning oil

Hi Karen, IM AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.

Karen, the first thing that needs to be checked in your question: Is it burning oil or is it leaking oil. Because both issues will cause the oil level to go down on the dip stick. Find out which is happening through a qualified technician before spending any money on repairs. Please visit my auto-repair-website if you have any other questions: http://www.bigasautorepair.com/

2008diesel navara oil leaking from the exhaust muffler and blowing white smoke

You are burning oil badly decide to remove head and check the head gasket piston rings and valve oil seals or buy a rebuilt engine from a reputable source as there are some right cowboys selling poor quality rebuilds

Why is my newly rebuilt 5.7 350 chev. Engine burning so much oil. It's not leaking, and not smokeing out tail pipe?

what was entailed in the rebuild?
cylinders bored and hone , new pistons , rings
crank grind and new bearings
or was it just a ring refresh and sand paper on the cylinders
I'm thinking the latter ( cheap and nasty)
The oil will be coming past the rings and being burnt in the exhaust ( cat converter if you still have one )
That oil passing the rings comes from , glazed bores , rings being installed upside down, ring gaps not being set 120 degrees apart but almost lining up
worn ring lands in the pistons
Sump oil either leaks out -- Gaskets , seals filters or is passed by the rings and burnt in the combustion process

My 2006 Volvo S40 does not have an oil leak but it is burning through all the engine oil in between oil changes. I get my oil changed about every 4,000 miles.

have you tried to run finger around inside of tail pipe to see if its burning oil!! but do this when it is cold. you may also have bad oil rings on pistons. if it is burning oil it will smoke very little if any. because the convertor runs so hot it will burn up all the oil residue. so you may noy be able to see any smoke. have a good day!! check carefully all gaskets for oil leaks, and also make sure oil filter is hand tight, sometimes a loose oil filter will start leaking oil.

Fuel smell in oil, and also burns aprox. 1 qt. of oil in 300 miles of use. Just had the engine rebuilt due to valve clatter,smoking on acceleration and start-up

Intake, combustion, exhaust system is supposed to be separate from lubrication system. You have a breakdown somewhere in that separation evidenced by gas smell in oil and oil coming through exhaust. Possibly head gasket or piston ring. Take it back to the folks who rebuilt it and ask them about it.

The engine uses oil about one quart per 200 miles I have three plugs that get fould up every 1500 miles there on the left side of the engine I was told the valve guides are bad. the van runs good at 65 mph

Have a compression test run on the engine.

In my view if you are burning this much oil and the plugs are fouling then the piston rings are quite worn and need to be replaced. If this is a high mileage 88 model running on the original engine you must expect this kind of wear especially if the engine oil has not been replaced at optimum intervals during the vehicle's life. Typically owners do not change the engine oil in their vehicles often enough for the type of driving they do.

The required engine work (or rebuilt engine change over) will be expensive. If you have an average vehicle its low retail market value (and very low dealer trade in value) would mean you are much better off spending the money on a newer replacement vehicle in much better condition.
