Yeah about that...

About 2 weeks ago it was smoking a little from where the turbo is. I was never able to find where the oil was coming from, but at the most random times it would do it. There was a pancake size spot of oil on my driveway one day. There was never a rhyme or reason why it did that, so I bought an oil treatment from Kragen and poured that in. It was a very safe oil additive because I know some can cause more damage then good. Anyways since I used that, the oil burning stopped. There is a brownish mark on top of the turbo. I dont know if it was there before or not but it looks similar to when you burn sugar, its like a blackish hard spot almost looks like tar.... or oil treatment. I dont know, you guys will have to look at it. It might have come from the oil feed line, i hope thats what it is.
