Man, i was really hoping some of the excessive smoke was maybe from a faulty glow plug, but its been running fine. Besides a few intake issues (some stuff not capped off etc) its been running fine.
So i did some investigating. All glow plugs are fine, and pulled the intake off the turbo...and its got a fairly good bit of oil in it. As far as i can tell the turbo is fine (as far as the turbine, theres no movement or excessive wiggle). My theory is the oil drain was routed to the alternator and im at least hopin that its just backing up slightly in the turbo and the turbo hasnt gone bad...just cant drain oil fast enough.
Here are some pics of how it was routed. Im assuming i need to drill and tap the sump and route a dedicated line to it from the turbo drain. Has anyone done this and have any insight or photos of location and what piping youre using to allow for proper volume of flow?
