Not sure how serious trouble I may be in here.
Oil pressure is low enough at idle to activate the oil pressure light, reads about 2 bar on the gauge at 2000rpm.
And definately oil smpke out the tail pipe.
It has overheated recently. Not sure why, had water but maybe froze somewhere (not enough antifreeze). Was getting no heat and top radiator hose was cold.
Thermostat OK, New.
Added antifreeze and water, now have heat and does not overheat, but
definately oily exhaust. Low oil pressure preceeded the overheating so
How do I test the oil pump, or can the turbo seals leak enough to make low oil pressure.
Also when it overheated and I got lots of white smoke, could this be from seals in the water cooled turbo?

Like to save this guy but it's gettin tedious to fix (especially when it's this COLD).
