Oil coming out BOV?

[lingl9z]

Noticed oil coming out of the bov and cars smoking if left on idle for 10mins, what could this be?

 

[Mike@TD.co.uk]

*could* be ringland damage, how much oil has come out the BOV? does the exhaust sound different at all? Scooby-type rumble?

 

[ryan-11]

do a compression test mate, same thing happened to me and it was piston rings

 

[lingl9z]

car doesnt sond any diff and hasnt lost power etc? how do i do a compression test? if it is rings is that expensive to fix?

if its spitting out of the bov could be turbo oil seals on the intake side...aswell as if its smoking...how much oil is it spitting...its not uncommon for a little bit naturally.

mine was doing this before i took it off the road (although without the smoking on idle mindyou) , was down to a goosed turbo

 

[lingl9z]

It looks like its been doing it for a while tbh theres quiet a bit there, i spose its best to clean it up and check it? could i cause further damage driving it? cheers

 

[lingl9z]

i hope it is just the turbo ! i got a speedvision hyb on its way.

Clean it up and see how much its pushing out, also get a compression test done asap, any garage should be able to do this for you if you are unsure and doesn't take long at all.

If it is ringland damage then unfortunately yeah its gonna cost quite a few pennies

Cheers mate! i guess if its ringland then ima be off the road for a long while! or i'll just have to try and rebuild my self ^_^

hopefully it wont be that terminal but yea either source a new engine or rebuild yours would be the options *cough* forged *cough*

how much would i be looking at to fully forge the engine myself? and whats the advantages? though i wont have the money for that for quiet a while neways!!

if your doing everything bar the machining of the block yourself then its a lot cheaper, I should imagine a forged build could be done for around £1k? maybe less...

advantages? run big boost if you have a turbo that can do it

hmmm guess if i was off the road i could save that up pretty quickly, how mch is machining of the block? ^^

 

[Mike@TD.co.uk]

depends on where you take it not massively expensive, was accounted for in the price above

 

[lingl9z]

Ah really may just have to do that when the engine dies of what ever cheers for your help mate rep added =D ima head off, i'll probably be back to pick your brain tomorrow

 

[Mike@TD.co.uk]

ta and no worries

 

[Fishy89GT]

forging would be a good idea if the whole engine was pie..but it just sounds like turbo selas to me...if you want to run bit boost etc...got to get all the correct cooling, fuelling, sus, brakes aswell so it adds up..lol..worth it tho"

 

[white-ep82]

mine was the same, no smoke, just oil around the BOV, was turbo seals.

 

[HutchGlanzaV]

I had oil out the bov when my turbo died. If its anything mate cross your fingers its that, alot cheaper to fix than a rebuild!
