Jeep has been down since February, bad turbo seal. I was super fortunate not to wreck the engine. It was below zero and the roads were very icy, I had to drive slowly on county roads for about 5 miles.When I got to the highway I accelerated briskly, looking in the rearview I saw the cloud of death. I pulled off the road and shut it down. As a LOST lurker, I had known of the turbo issues. I walked to the rear to open the tailgate ( I was carrying 2 gallons of oil ), and saw the oil running out the exhaust. Gee what could cause that? Dipstick was dry, it took 3 quarts to restore the level to normal. I added the last quart, and drove home slowly. It didn't smoke unless I drove over 35 mph. Long story short, it has been down ever since. Big project, I have made many changes. Like every project, it went over time and budget. Hopefully it will be running in the next week. I plan to chronicle the whole process in a series of posts. This community has been really helpful to me, gotta give back. I'm just figuring out how to post images, I took many pictures. Here's a teaser.
