iliyamialik Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Recently when I've been driving harder, it smells like burning oil. So I pull over and I see some oil dripping on the uppipe and making the burning smell. And from the passenger wheel well, I can see my block is oily. Does this mean it's a bad head gasket? I have a picture I will upload later. Anyone know how to do it, and or how much it would cost, should I do it myself or how much should I pay someone to do it. I'm in bay area CA. Thanks for the help in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 check the oil supply line tO the turbo. If that is loose it will spray oil and drip down to the up also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
