Posted 06/09/05 01:46 AM Share Posted 06/09/05 01:46 AM Shut the T down hot, usually I let it cool off for 5-6 K's before I stop, but this time I didn't, anyways ~ 1min later gouts of stinky blue smoke came up from under the bonnet (sorta smelt like burnt clutch...) I opened the bonnet and could not identify where the smoke was coming from, started it up and let it idle for a bit, It stopped smokeing as the turbo cooled down.anyone else had a similar experience?possibly oil squirting onto something hot??I'll move the T tonight and see if the concrete has any oil spots. OMG I hope I don't have to go back to the dealer...... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19885-stinky-blue-smoke/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you been giving it heaps (under boost) or just normal driving ??Fingers crossed ...

Lesson No: 676 do a couple of cooldown K's before shutting down the T.....

If it happens again I would definitely get it checked out!!
