Are you sure oil is not coming from rocker box rubber seal. Mine leaked there and you can't see it on the ally but it settles on the exhaust manifold. Gasket on exhaust manifold is prob leaking gases and it will blow the oil as if the oil is comming out the engine. im pretty certain it's not coming...

As for oil in exhaust , is the oil wet and running down block ?
I think valve stem seals.

the oil is not so much pouring down the block but is running down it yes

sounds good

thanks heaps for the help !!

chris

ok just we can start the car no problems it idles fine nothing wrong aside from the leak but once you hit the accelerator it starts to blow smoke from the exhaust a fair bit but once you let it go it settles back down to be fine?? any ideas just trying to narrow it down as far as i can

chris

im hoping it's not the rings and yes the plugs do seem a bit oily didnt really think to check that so i assume the ring's are shot if that's the case right ??

chris

i have checked and the leak itself is coming from the joint where the turbo housing meets the manifold so i assume it means a new gasket well i hope that's it also another question when i remove the oil cap whilst the car is running should the car stall doesn't seem right to me or do they pressurise...
