1999 9-5 2.3T 104,000miles
Symptoms; smoke(classic turbo fail), low oil pressure at low rpms. Engine sounds better than good.
I dropped the oil pan and took out the turbo. Turbo shot, oil pan looked good, pick up screen 8%block(good). While doing this there seems to be a new oil leak near the dip stick area.
Questions.
Is the new oil leak temporary from the driving thirty miles with a really bad turbo?
Is it a bad head gasket,that caused all problems(antifreeze pristine)?
Could the PCV be clogged(I think its #6)? Should I redo PCV no matter what?
What will help the low oil pressure?
The car is ripped apart, is it worth putting the turbo in and hoping oil pressure and leak were caused by dying turbo?
If I put car back together, should I do, or replace anything else with car in this state?
