Hey folks,
I have a problem with the Legnum and need some help from the experienced people, as i am a noob... /dunce
My car has suddenly developed an "oily" problem. The VTA-BOV is spilling some oil out, every time it opens. We experienced the issue yesterday and it has not been there last week. It looks like here in miller 's old thread: http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?43639-Turbo-Seals
The car does not get blue smoke on acceleration or lift off, so I assume it is not the turbo seals. Taking the Y-pipe off it looked like the major amount of oil is coming from the rear turbo side.
The car was hardly driven since last week, but was running on idle/higher revs for quiet a time, when checking a coolant temperature issue. I just wonder if this has been accumulated as the BOV was not opening and now blews out the crap...
Where could it come from? Where to look at? Could it be a blow by gas issue? Maybe PCV valve not working? Can the car still be driven with this issue?
Any help highly appreciated as will go to the workshop this afternoon and want to check in detail. THANKS! /help
