Hi Peter, Thanks again,this problem just happened out of the blue.On restart after driving,parked for 10 minutes or more,there is a big puff of smoke with a slight miss in the engine.The inter cooler and pipes are quite heavily soiled with oil.I topped up the oil level and within 100 miles of driving the low level light was on again and it took nearly 3 lts. to bring it up to the max level.It happened too quick to be valve stem oil seals and when the smoke clears....it drives perfectly with no noise,loss of power or smoke. I checked the breather pipes and the oil return pipes from the turbo to the sump,all OK. I am fairly sure it is the seals in the turbo but would love to get it tested. I may have to Google for a repairer if no one on here can recommend one. ANY MORE THOUGHTS ANYONE ?
