<VV> '65 Turbo oil smoke in abundance

[Duane, Jim (US SSA)]

Best diagnostic tool is a friend with a good turbo.  There are other
factors that may cause blue smoke.  Trust me, I know!

Hi All,

I just got back from two months overseas, and went to start up my '65  
corsa turbo after checking oil levels and the car was running a  
little rough for the first few minutes, but then it began to run  
excellent, and then finally when it was just about warm and running  
very smooth, blue smoke started to billow out from the exhaust pipe,  
but with no change in the cadence of the engine.  I immediately shut  
it off, and I really don't know where to start looking for the  
location of the problem.  Any ideas?  I was thinking that since the  
engine didn't change sound or lose RPM's that it might be centered  
around the turbo, perhaps a seal went up there and oil is going into  
the engine at that point?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Chris
