Smoke from dipstick??

posted by  someone claiming to be Gino Lamberti on  Fri Mar 23 02:44 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I noticed this morning that with the oil dipstick out or the oil cap off, there is noticeable smoke blowing out. I have read some posts about excess crankcase pressure but am not sure how to check. I have no oil leaks but I did lose a turbo return seal about 1000 miles ago. Does anyone know how to check this on a turbo?

Thanks for the help

    If the engine was hot, I wouldn't worry about it© It's just vapours „mostly water¤© If you are really worried, have the oil analyzed©

      OK, checked it at various temperatures (outside and operating) and still have vapors coming out of the dipstick and the oil fill hole at idle, any suggestions??

      Thanks

      It was about 45-50 degrees this morning but I had let it warm up for about 10 minutes before leaving. I will check it when I get home, it's about 70 degrees now.............

      Thanks,

      Gino
