You'll get plenty of smoke if you have a seal issue. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93064-front-seal-oil-leak/#findComment-1635192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing particles hitting it at high speed, 260,000km+ on the car/turbo, probably due for a birthday Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93064-front-seal-oil-leak/#findComment-1635215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
