a Different opinion needed
I am under the impression that I blew my head gasket, I had posted awhile ago about it. I havent gotten around to fixing it yet. I have been really busy with work and customers. However I was pulling the LICP to check something(just tinkering) and I would say about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of motor oil poored out of the pipe. Is this normal of the head gasket blowing? Or shall I add another thing to fix on the car? Here is the oil puddles, I placed familiar garage tools to giv eyou an Idea of the size.

maybe the catch can, or a seal in the turbo is blown as well.... on second thought, id say there is no way that is blow by... way too much oil, unless your car is 5 yrs old

if it's coming outta the LICP, I'm leaning towards a turbo related problem. . .I see a Fp Green in your future!! not a HG problem, but internet diagnosing is retarded most of the time. . .g-luck!

^ well I had just got down wrapping the header, DP, and some other engine parts, changed the oil pan gasket, along with turbo oil feed gasket. I button everything back up, checked over work. I then like I always do drive around the block to insure I did everything right. Well after about 5 minutes of driving, extreme amounts of white smoke starts to poor out of the exhaust and engine area. I also got a very loud(supercharger like) sound coming from under the engine. This was at first start up, it went away after pushing the clutch in, so I didn't think anything of it. I prolly fudged something with that. Very loud whining. I pulled into the drive way to stop and got out to look at what was going on. I shut it off and let it clear out. I saw nothing standing out, I then tried to start it and pull it back into the garage and it wouldn't move without a lot of rpm's. Very sluggish, wanting to shut off. I pulled the DP and poored a CRAP load(half quart) of oil out of it. Didn't think to pull the LICP. I had alittle oil pan leak, since I had just replaced the gasket( I apparently didn't secure it right HAHA!) and I checked the oil, noticed I lost a lot of oil. I talked with CBRD and they said its a high possibilty its my HG. I would like someone to tell me its something cheaper to fix HAHA.
Resealing the turbo, can it be done by me? Is there a "How to" tear down a turbo? I have a turbo place around my area, but they said clipping and porting my setup would only give me more lag and higher topend. Sorry for the long reply.

puddles of oil like that are never good if your not doing an oil change.. has to be seals though.. A head gasket should not let oil pass like that unless you blow oil rings.. and then it should not come back through the intake it would go through the exhaust.
