Thumbs down They come in three's alright!!!

On my 94 STI i had a missfire and found one plug had melted also noticed i had a bad oil leak so i looked under it and the oil filter had been hit on a speed hump and it had distored, I checked the oil to find it almost empty no oil light came on. I replace it and filled it with oil and thought to myself ok she's sorted went for a drive run lovely later that day went out again and pulled off the lights and looked in horror in my rear veiw and there was a massive cloud of blue smoke :O


its was fine when driving but everytime i stop on idle for a bit it really kicks out smoke?

i took the pipes off the turbo and couldn't see much wrong the pipes look clear of any oil and the i/c, it could still be on the exhaust side tho?

has anyone had this problem on a subaru or any other car and found it to be the turbo i dont want to go spend out for a turbo just to find it still does it.

How on Earth could a speed hump hit the filter ?? If it did, the sump would also be damaged?
How much oil did you put in?
