another oil leak

Post by evoetr »

alright so ive got oil dripping from/out of the manifoldto up pipe flange? while idling it doesnt drip a drop or smoke at all. but as soon as i take it for a drive and get some boost up bam she starts pouring smoke out the hood scoop. ive replace the rocker gaskets and gromets, and all the copper washers on the oil feed to turbo but its still leaking? and ideas? oh its on a 1991 turbo RS

alright sorted that out. when the rocker gaskets were leaking the soaked the insulation inside the heatshield on the up pipe and it was buring when heated up.
