lots of smoke 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be sprout on  Thu Dec 2 14:12 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi to everyone.
I found this site by looking for a fix for my problem. I like it alot so far.
I have an 88 740 turbo that blew 2 qts of oil out the tail pipe and put up a smoke screen that blocked out the whole freeway behind me. I assumed it was the turbo, so I took it off to rebuild it. the car has 230,000 miles on it. and when I opened up the turbo, it didnt seem that bad,a little oily, but not that bad. I rebuilt it. the car runs great for that many miles.I checked compression and the plugs and all checked out ok. My question is WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?Was it the turbo? did I blow a head gasket?has anyone had this problemor am I overlooking something.Thanks for a response in advance

Steve 88 740 turbo
