Lucifer Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Ok well here are the symtoms... Water seems to just vanish about 1L per 100 miles No smoke on startup Smoke on high overrun Smoke when it gets hot at adle..it sort of puffs... now and again No water in oil or vice versa Appears not to smoke on full boost. I have disconnected the turbos and ran NA (well sort of) and smkoe is still there so i ruled out the turbos... Any ideas anyone? Cheers.

Chris Wilson Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Water pump leaks are common, it evaporates before it hits the ground in many cases. The smoking and water leak may not, (hopefully), be conneced. UK or jap spec car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 A breach in the head gasket between the water jacket and the cylinder I'd say. On overrun the vacuum in the cylinders suck the water in. On boost it won't do this, and if the breach doesn't cover an oilway then you shouldn't get any water/oil emulsification (er, 'mixing' would have been an easier word to type there lol). -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Oh, yeah, what colour is the smoke? White, black, or grey/blue? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
