Hi,

 

Tried to take a quick vid of the smoke to see what you guys think, but not that good to be honest just taken on a normal camera but will put it up anyway.

 

Is it turbo oil seals do you think? the car had been running and driven for around 45-50 mins so fully warmed up. has been known to get a little more smoke than whats in the vid bloody typical lol.

 

hope it works lol

if your revving the ass off it like that, id be inclined to get a sniffer test done. but still looks like condensation to me.

Whats a sniffer test bud, only revving like that to show you guys and was only around 5-6k got the wife to rev it lol, could it still be condensation even after 50mins or so?

How long has it been sitting for? reason i say it looks like condensation is its from both pipes and dissipates rather quickly.

 

When i had water in my exhaust from condensation, the only way for me to get it out was to drill holes in the back boxes and empty (wouldn't advise this unless your changing exhaust and don't care about the old one) but i empty 1.5 litres of water between both back boxes, but then the car had been stood for around 5 years.

 

A sniffer test, tests the radiator water to see if the head gasket is leaking.

 

One thing i did notice though, was the amount of smoke never changed when she revved it. this would indecate to me that its condensation. have you tried smelling it? does it smell of burnt oil, normal car fumes or has a sweet smell to it?

Condensation, most cars do this on a cold start up? on a cold day it would be alot more noticable?

I smelt it and to me does'nt smell like oil, just normal, and yeh smoke from both sides equal, to be honest had more the other day than in the vid, car has been used daily but not for long drives to be honest the guy I bought it of from scotland used it as a daily driver, until mot ran out and was stood for 4 weeks. Like I said the car was fully warmed up, dont get this in the impreza once its warmed up or is it just a common in the zeds.

 

Cheers again Mark
