Hi,

Has it happened to anyone, that after forcing the engine and letting it to warm up heavily, the back of the engine would have started to smoke? By " the back of the engine" i mean now the passenger compartment side, not the gear end of the engine.
My FL 2 Td4 is doing as above. I floor it, stop and open the bonnet and i can see smoke coming up from somewhere around the turbo. It Is only happening after forcing the engine, not under normal use.

The weirdest thing is, that my engine is totally dry, after having replaced the turbo intake plastic tube, the sump and the gearbox side crankshaft seal....

I cannot rhink of anything else anymore, only the crankcase fumes coming out on some ripped pipe or loose clip...
Anybody could help with any idea or advice?

Thanks!

If only then happens, then get yourself some old clothes, give the engine some good thrashing, stop the car with the front wheels up on some high street curb, get out and slide under the car from the right side of the car and look with some flashlight up to the engine/turbo area while still smoking and see from where the smoke is forming.
Don't forget to put the car in gear (or park) and vigorously pull the handbrake.

Indeed, the increased crankcase pressure could make some oil to get out at the top of the plastic cylinder/camshaft head cover.
More exact at its round seals at the top of the engine. Or at the connection of hose 7 with cover 1, in the picture below.
