After that incident my oil level sure was down man. It was even lower than the lower arrow shape indicator thingie. Luckily my frens place was nearby and we used the same engine oil went there to top up around 1 and a half litres man. Scary ****.

I will ask them to check everything that was mentioned here.. Crankcase.. Headgasket and also the Turbo seals. Darn guess this is gonna cost me at least $1000+++

Turbo lag. LMAO



Could be from many things. First step is to look under the car and check for any signs of an external oil leak.

That was the first thing i did nothing is leaking at all. Even check my garage floor for any signs of oil leaks or anything of that sort but then its as clean as it can get. So what other steps can i follow next?

The ones at the top of your basement. Do a double back flip, pike-tuck triple gaynor, and if you stick the landing, I will tell you what's going on. jk. Chewing on this now, we might share a problem I had in the past. be right back.

I am trying to understand what you are saying: "Pushing your car", you mean driving it FAST? Or physically pushing it with another car? (ie bump-starting your car?) If you were driving fast, was he close to your bumper at high speeds? Is it oil deposits on his hood? Or black soot? You could have the turbo blow by, or oil blowing out of a gasket somewhere which only comes out with high boost conditions. is the underside of your car "wet?" indicating an oil leak somewhere?

Hehe sorry for not elaborating further as to what i mean by pushing my car. As in high speed with high revs. And he was practically sticking to my bumper. The oil on his hood and windscreen is like Oil spraying from the back of my exhaust. The underside of my car is not wet. I really so puzzled. As there is so many things that could have happened. The worst case scenario would be the rings. If not then it must be turbo seal broke or headgasket. (Hehe FYI i didnt do those backflips hah dont think i would be able to land them )
Hopefully you can give me some useful information.

Thanks for the clarification. If it looks like oil, and the close proximity of both cars, could the "negagive pressure" between the cars be enough, that maybe the oil was being sucked off of his car? Does his car leak oil? There is normally some blow-by in a WOT or high speed condition isn't there? Would the "oil" from your car be pretty much vapor/soot by the time it reaches the muffler anyway? I don't know if it would still look like oil by the time it got out the exhaust. Is your car boosting correctly? Using oil? and if so, how often do you top off the oil? ( on the gymnastics olympic stair event)

I'd check the turbo for shaft play and check the inlet and exhaust pipes for signs of oil next. Then leak down test and compression test on the motor.

I will just ask them to do that. Still waiting to bring my car to the workshop. This sucks. just seeing my car in the garage and not being able to drive it. I guess the problem will be at the turbo. Thanks guys.
