Hi all , ive been driving with what I think is an ailing turbocharger for about 5000 miles now. The car blows blue smoke if started after sitting for several days, or when driving around town at slow speeds with little boost and then jumping on the boost, and most obviously when getting on the boost after a long downhill run. Im thinking oil is getting by the seals and sitting in the turbo when not spooled up, then blown and burned when boost is called for. Despite this, I have excellent power and drivability of the engine, and no other symptoms or smoke when cruising along. My questions are: is my diagnosis correct and is it unwise to continue to drive it till it fails completely, I know Im just prolonging the inevitable. Will the blue smoke/oil foul the CAT or oxygen sensor ? Thanks to all in advance.
