I don't know if most of you remember, I had 2 turbos blown with similar symptoms last year.....but I have the same fu<king issue again!

Weather is around 21F. Started the car to warm up and around 10~20 mins later, came out to find that the car is shut off! Started the car and there is the blue smoke.

Realizing that someone also has the same issue and as I read their posts, I checked the oil and dip stick didn't show any. No oil on driveway and dipstick looked clean. So, I poured 1 full qt + 1/4qt to bring the level to the middle of dipstick. Started the car again few mins later, first, there was no smoke. I rev'd it a bit and blue some (lots of it) came out. Also, noticed drops of oil from the exhaust (mixed with water) although I don't suspect coolant leaks, the oil could be just mixed with water vapor. The funny thing is, the oil is only coming from left exhaust...

Any tips? Ideas? Where is this "crank case breather hose" people keep talking about...?

That Blows...get it? That sucks dude. Good luck with the problem.

Starting and idling should do almost nothing to the turbos. Either way, sounds bad. Sorry to hear it.

You let your car sit idle for 10-20 minutes to warm up?

Seems excessive to me too. I'd never do that to my 2.7t.

After 10 mins. of idling, it will often be 5 miles of driving(never revving over 3000RPM's) before the needle on my oil temp gauge lifts off the pin. I have 75k+ on a MY2000 2.7T. TIA
