Blue smoke from exhaust and noticeable oil consumption

Safety first: Allow the engine to cool before checking oil level or working near the turbocharger.

• Check oil level: Ensure oil is not above the MAX mark. Drain excess oil if overfilled.
• Inspect breather system: Check crankcase breather hose for blockage. Clean or replace as needed.
• Monitor consumption: Track oil usage over several run hours. Excessive consumption indicates internal wear.
• Turbo inspection: On turbocharged models, inspect turbo inlet and outlet for oil residue. A failed turbo seal requires replacement.
• Engine overhaul: Persistent blue smoke with high consumption typically requires professional engine repair.
