loads of smoke

[AJDUFF]

HI, You probably can’t help without looking at my car but I will ask anyway.

I have a seat leon cupra r on 53 plate. I was heading out today and thought i would put my foot down a little maybe hit 110 mph as I slowed down white smoke was coming from the exhaust and the oil light started flashing, I pulled over and got some oil for it when i filled up i left the garage only to find the smoke pouring out of the exhaust thicker than ever, the oil light came bk on however the oil level was fine but when i checked i noticed little air bubbles on the dipstick with the oil. I set bk off home and the engine management light has now come on and I have filled the street with a nice plume of smoke, Can you help??

Could it not be the turbo on the way out?

[AJDUFF]

Private road of course. oh dear... if its not that could it be the turbo or any oil seals?

[seagrey]

only a failed turbo would consume oil that quick added to the smoke you are getting makes it favourite.
other than that a massive leak which would be readily apparent at that rate.

[AJDUFF]

before i parked the car up it was still performing as normal and the turbo was still working the smoke was just getting worse could this still be the turbo if it was still working?

I think you need a mechanic rather than the internet

[AJDUFF]

thats my next venture i just wanted an educated opinion before i go and have my pants pulled down...

i tried kwik fit on my way home yesterday and the guy just said i had the wrong oil in but it was late and he clearly wanted to sack it for the day.....

I wouldnt trust kwik fit to fit tyres, nevermind try and diagnose an engine problem !!!

[AJDUFF]

i totally agre i wouldnt normaly go there but i was passing on my way home...

hoping its the turbo i think it would be the cheaper of problems to get fixed..

You started saying it was white smoke.
What colour is it now?

I would be thinking...
White = head gasket
Blue = turbo

Did you drive it home with the oil light on?? (and at the same time discover that the performance was "normal" ?) What ever it is/was, it's shagged now..........
