Hi All,

I Know nothing about renault 5s this is my first one, the car is pretty good really but it smokes - on all my other turbo cars i have owned i have just changed the turbo and thats sorted it. got a new turbo on order just thought i would ask you people if this sounds about right??? - start it up and let her idle after about 4 minutes when she is getting warm i get clouds of blue smoke out of the exhaust, car goes alright boosting nicely but as soon as you let off you are surrounded by oil smoke. please help, thanks in advance....si
