Just curious, how often do you change the motor oil? What weight of engine oil are you using?
-
I don't mean to be an ***** hole but are you that ... well, you get it.
It is the turbo, it needs to be replaced and it needs to be replaced NOW!
The entire intake system needs to be cleaned, I would just replace the CAC and all the connecting tubes.
Oh by the way here is something to watch.

So?
I had one replaced, and a week later the center section failed and toasted an engine. Many of the ones you get rebuilt are using junk parts.Siinman and Crude Truckin' Thank this. -
I try to change it 10-14k miles I use delvac i get what the dealer tells me77fib77 Thanks this.

That’s crazy man yes Ima just change the turbo again77fib77 Thanks this.

Did anyone pull the inlet piping between the air intake and turbo? A lot of newer engines route the crankcase vent into the inlet side of the turbo.
-
Nobody even mentioned that to me . I’m going to take it to a different mechanic. He told me he would check the valves and all that before he tells me if the turbo is gd . First mechanic that said that to me . It’s cold outside
To fix it myself lol77fib77 Thanks this. -
If the turbo leaks too much oil. It can feed the engine and run away. That oil is in the CAC, so the intake manifold is getting that oil. Yeah stop driving it and get another turbo.Short Fuse EOD, Crude Truckin' and Eric5220 Thank this.

That video was painful to watch. I sse the cars nonchalantly driving by, and was expecting any second for a moron to pop into view and take a selfie while it was melting down.
