Hi all,
today i noticed a slight burning oily smell from my 2002 wrx. u opened the bonnet and noticed a bit of smoke coming from around the turbo. i do not get smoke coming from the exhaust and it still pulls as it normally does. i took it to the local garage i use and the bloke had a look and we saw that there seems to be a bit of oil around a pipe that goes into the turbo, consequently it seems as though it is this that is burning.anyone no what is causing this?

the pipe going into the turbo is the oil feed pipe and can sometimes leak and the oil that comes out is burnt by the hot engine/turbo

can this cause running problems if not dealt with or is it just a common thing on impreza's?
