smoke from under front bumper 2.2 dti 2002
« on: 17 December 2009, 18:25:33 »
sometimes when stationary with the engine running smokes can be seen coming from under my front bumper, i know my turbo is leaking a bit of oil on to the exhaust and assumed thats what is was but tonight when i started it and started clearing the snow i could see it pumping out from what looks like the bottom of the air intake, it looked white ish and deffinately smelled of diesel but maybe could of been oil, it was dark so not to sure.
any ideas anyone? cheers
