Oil Issue....
Im having an issue with my 05 STI. Recently i replaced my VF39 turbo that had a crack on the exaust side of the turbo. The car was burning oil because of the crack in the turbo so i replaced it with a vf22 which i thought would stop the oil burning/consumption. But im 3000 miles into my vf22 and im still loosing oil (roughly 1300 miles and im bone dry.). I noticed when i get on boost i can see a small amount of smoke comming from my exaust. Any one have any ideas of what could also be causing me to loose oil at a rapid rate? Before the turbo swap (1month before) we did a compression/leak down test on the motor and it came back all good so i know its not a crack in the block. Could it be head gasket or seal rings? Im also not experiencing any random leaks or drip spots so thats whats making it so confusing. Any ideas anyone? Id greatly appreciate it, its really driving me nuts.
Thanks,
Stephen
