Oil Everywhere

[KURAUN]

I recently took my turbo off an got my oil and water lines lines cleaned, when I put my turbo back on ( a spare 1 i had which i needed to get oil to the core ) I warmed up the car and oil got through the turbo all fine but then smoke was comin from near the turbo somewhere so i turned the car off ( i thought it was just oil burning from where some spilled when i filled the core up. But on sunday I went for a short drive i came back opened up my hood and smoke wascoming from near the turbo again (burnt oil smoke can smell it) and oil was everywhere in the engine its gone through my atmo bov sprayed on the firewall and all over my inlet pipe and coilpack cover.

Is this maybe that I have filed the core to much and it just keeps puchin to much oil through the turbo and its comin out everywhere or maybe something else? The car hasnt lost any oil pressure on the guage or heated up anymore, or lost any power. What do you guys reckon?

is the oil feed banjo fitting done up tight?

same witht the feed at the block end too.

The core will drain itself so thats not the problem. If the oil in the core was backing up you'd be blowing blue smoke and probably have oil through all your pipework rather than all over the engine bay.

Have you made any other changes while you were there?

Banjo on the oil feed not being done up tight is the most likely cause, especially as it has sprayed everywhere. Have you used new washers?

make sure you get new copper washers.. sometimes the old ones won't reseal.
