im having a small issue with my fiesta rs turbo burning a small amount of oil. i have recently had my oil return plumbed into the sump as the standard oil return is rubbish. here is what i have replaced to try and solve this matter-

oil return now into the sump for better drainage (this is originally what i thought was causing it with the standard t2 return)
new standard breather
cleaned all existing breather hoses
had a step-gap seal put into the turbo (for exhaust)
replaced stem seals with genuine ford items
dry compression test @ 170psi over all 4 cylinders

i get a oil smell when i come to a stand still from driving, with a tiny tiny amount of smoke. when on idle i rev the car up and see some smoke but does not smell oily for some reason? more of fumes. the car has been off the road for a while now so im hoping it may need a good long drive.

please advise me on what else i may need to check - my car is on 47k, all standard engine wise and im the 3rd owner.

 

check for play in shaft, is there any forward and back?????

is the feed got a restrictor??

t2 units are a waste of time mate tbh, i dont sell em now as they just smoke lol

 

im thinking it might be below oil level whats causing it. turbo has been checked and ive have a stepp gap seal put in it.

 

here is where mine sits - ive put a red circle where i will have the new one put, it will be definatly above oil level and out the way of the oil pickup bracket behind the sump. it will also clear the alternator.
