Car leaking oil and smokes a little bit

Featured Replies

Here's the background story. My turbo went on the m25 and leaked oil after this happened. This is normal when a turbo decided to call it a die. So I bought a new turbo, new egr and exhaust gaskets. After the car was fixed the car is still leaking a bit of oil over night and sometimes after a long journey smokes a bit from the bonnet then dissappear's. However the car drives perfectly. I'm led to believe my intercooler pipe has cracked after my original turbo blew which is still causing the leak today.. Any suggestions will be kindly appreciated and I posted a picture that may help

@Kamilfabiavrs - Standard car? If so, then the turbo - SMIC - manifold pipes are the 2 black plastic ones that come from the back of the engine past the cylinder head and dive down the RHF corner. The most likely place to find the oil dripping from is actually in the RHF arch, so jack the car up and take that wheel off then look.

Looks like the O ring that seals the EGR to the inlet manifold has failed judging by all of the oil around it.
