Oil Seals?

Hi All,

 

New to 300sx ownership but very familiar with 200sx's anyways... ive done some digging about on the forums and believe I have found an answer but wonder if anyone could confirm?

 

I believe the rear oil seals of the turbo on the pass side of my car have gone as when you rev from cold start smoke comes from that side or if you come to a halt an idle for a few minutes and then rev, smoke appears from same side and does smell oiley.

 

Does this indeed sound like turbo seals, or could it be something else? - I'm sure I read that the seals were prone to going around the 60K miles mark.

 

TIA for your advice.

Thanks,
