How to Fix / Troubleshooting
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.
