I had a compression test done to my car today and the readings were

1 - 160

2 - 160

3 - 150

4 - 150

5 - 150

6 - 160

That seems ok to me but im still troubled with having petrol smelling water fill my catch tank quickly.

No signs of water mixing with oil that i can see

And heaps white smoke did come out of my exhaust not long ago. But its doesnt seem to be doing it again, even after a bashing on 1st and 2nd.

Cracked head? gaskets? What could this be?.

Thanks

no..

Was just thinking that its possible that the turbo seals or something have stuffed themselves, thereby leaking coolant, which is sucked back up the recirculation piping, and into the catch can.

Or its also possible, that if the car is kept outside, drives in the rain a lot, has a vented bonnet or something like that - that condensation could be forming on the catch can outlet.

Does he have a POD ? is the pod mounted under the bumper or something like that?

But just trying to give / guess some possibles.

Yes, vented bonnet. Im thinking more towards turbo seals shit it self. Due to the Smoke. Any way i can find this out without taking the car to a mech to have a look at first?. Can i just pull the turbo out and look for ... ??

Thanks for your help
