Burning coolant! Oil in turbo inlet!

Asianleful · 12-10-2016, 05:45 PM

I've just about had it with this car. So started taking apart the 550i for the infamous oil/coolant leaks. I had already replaced the shitty oem hoses for coolant with silicone hoses. However, I seem to have an oil leak. Are my turbo oil seals bad or does that much oil come out of the valve cover vent into the intake? There was a pool of oil on the turbo inlet when I pulled off the intake piping... Are my turbo oil seals bad?

Yeah that's normal with our cars, I'm developing catch cans.

Yup, our cars have pretty terrible oil intake from the CCV. I wouldn't even want to get my car walnut blasted unless I had a set of catch cans to throw on.
