Oil smoke from 2,7T engine

[pastejkoket]

Both the turbos broke on my 2001 Allroad 2,7T. They were fixed, but now I am experiencing oil smoke coming from the engine`s left side after driving for 3-5 minutes. The engine does not use much oil (0,5 litres / 3000 km). This burned oil smell comes into the car from the AC while standing still. Also some drops of oil dripping under the car while parked. Anyone experienced this? It started after the turbo-crash.
Thanx in advance!
Cheers!

Yeah, sure... I have teh same year with 90,000 klms. I had burnign oil coming up on bothe sides but more on the passenger side. We diagnosed rocker cover gaskets and havd had them replaced. This was done only a few days ago and all seems better but will keep driving and let you know. If you had the turbo doen it woudkl have been sensible to do it at that time which is a sahme as it does take a loittle while to do.

Ciao, on my allroad it smells some oil burned and I can see oil on the ground when I park the car. I see that is a turbo oil return o-ring pipe, left turbo. It needs to replace the o-ring

same thing, out of the right side. Mechanic said it is the cam sensor seal, going to get it replaced soon. turbos are working fine though

oh dear..... well my tansmission started to play up again so had to pull it out. These wonderfully designed Audi's make it impossible to get to the exhaust heatshield bolts so had to drop the motor with the trans. Adding further to their wonderful design charateristics, you have to remove the front body work (all but the fenders) to get the engine out. Turns out trans has snapped teeth on the drum which was no doubt caused by over pressure from a failed valve body, so a new one of those needed too. Whilst all was out, could see the rear cam seal covers leaking so replacing those (and front ones while at it) and those "infamous" oil return hose gaskest from the turbo that always leak. Then, of course, why wouldnt I do the timing belt whilst this whole thing is apart in a zillion pieces. If you see where these Audi lunatics have buried the thermostat you would undersatnd why I am doing this as well - plus the water pump cos that aint much better placed either. Oh, and has anyone seen how hard it is to get to the starter motor and alternator? So, yes, you guessed it, got these reman'd whilst I'm at it. With so many other little things so stupidly designed from a servicability aspect, I changed them too - "O" rings, gaskets etc. I think the allroad (maybe other Audis too) is the german revenge to the western world. If anyone out there is considering buying an Audi allroad, I give them this important advice:.......................................DON' T!
