Smoking......valve stem seals/turbo oil seals

Cutting out..........probably an air leak.

Your not really going to cause damage from worn stem seals but obviously you will use oil.........

Stem seals cost the best part of fuck all and aren't that hard to change really. The special tool will cost you more than the seals and thats only about £8
