Subaru V7 WRX - Cam seal problem
My car has been parked up for the winter and I have just took it out to have it serviced. I took it for a spin after letting it warm up for 15 mins but once on an open road I gave it some boost and immediately there was a huge amount of smoke inside and outside the car. On inspection it was apparent the bottom left hand cam seal had completely blown out. We replaced all 4 seals and belt etc and again started and warmed up the car but the same seal blew again. This is the third time it has happened even after a thorough clean and super glued on. The oil preasure is fine but it happens as soon as I boost the car. I have owned the car for 3 years, this car is very well maintained and I have never had any issue like thos before. the oil pressure was at .6 cold and went to 3 to 4 when warm. Car boosts and runs fine bar the issue with the seal.
Please help me !!!!! Has anyone out there any ideas what the problem could be ????? All mods have been professionally carried out and the car has had a 5 hour Custom Remap without any issues prior to this one.
