OK, anytime oil gets into the cooling system or vice versa, there's a strong possibility that there is a leak at the head gasket.

Could have to do with overspeeding the engine.

The cooling system can get up to 14 to 16 psi, enough to burst into the oil lines which run next to the cooling lines in the head and block.

If it's spilling on the front driver's side of the car, then you have some serious problems with this engine.

My 2005 PT cruiser turbo has just started heavy white smoke when idling. Does not happen all the time and appears to run rough when it does

Hi Barbra:
1) I'd be suspicious of a bad head gasket with a possible leak between a cylinder and the water jacket.
If fumes smell like coolant that would be a confirming hint.
Check the oil (dipstick) and see if it has a milky colour or if there is any water visible. If the head gasket problem is only as in 1) above, it should be just oil.
- Temporary fix attempt????? - add aluminum sealant to coolant.
- Permanaent fix (expensive) - Off to the repair shop for a new head gasket.
Hope this helps.

Have 2005 pt crusier 2.4 turbo

Its oil. Oil is leaking past the valve seals, letting oil seep into the combustion chambers when sitting. This is a pretty small leak that shows its ugly head when starting it up after it sits a bit. Keep driving it, not a major problem. Just keep an eye on your oil level.

05 pt cruiser turbo.oil is getting into intake manifold.smoke is coming out of exhaust.installed new turbo.still doing the same thing

It is getting into your exhaust manifold-the return line is either restricted or blocked, or the oil seal inside the turbo housing is either leaking or blown, usually due to excessive crankcase pressure.Try disconnecting the oil feed and return lines first, clean them out, and try it again-if it is still there, the turbo will have to come out and it will have to be gone over for blown seals.

I changed the battery and still have a no start. Guages light up, then nothing when I turn key to start.

It is important to check teh oil. Low oil means low oil pressure and the car will not start. Try that good luck
