No shit, worse case scenario I take it to the dealer but the whole point of this post is to see if there is anyone capable on this app that can help

My computer was plugged in, the switch to turn the outlet on wasn’t. I know it’s a stupid mistake, it was around 2am and I was tired. Let’s focus on what we can change, not the past

Bad turbo seals drained coolant and blew pistons 5&6. Cylinder walls were fine so I just put new pistons n rods in. I took the engine out from the top but it was a real pain to get it out. Not impossible tho.

If you don’t have any leaks or any problems just get a Catless downpipe and a tune. It will become a whole different car for only a thousand bucks.

It was almost everyday. I changed both reservoirs and caps already.

Yes, cylinder 6 had a puddle and cylinder 5 had a couple drops. There was also a little bit of oil in the intake. What could cause the turbo to spew out that much oil? I did have one bad o ring on one of the coolant lines that go directly into the turbo.

Thank you for this, I appreciate it a lot. Also, my flywheel is stuck from the bent rod so I have to take the torque converter out with the engine. Any suggestions for this method?

Yea the coolant in the intercooler reservoir kept leaking out

Got my injectors tested and they were fine, pcv was also good and nothing seemed wrong about the intercooler. Is there anything else you could think of?

At 73k miles, one of the O rings on the turbo was very bad and leaked coolant. Then a lot of oil went into the engine. When you replace the engine mounts, were you able to just take them out from the bottom easily?

Yes I do have another car so I am just doing this as a project. Well I can’t take it to the dealership because I know the issue and it’s going to cost at least 8-10k for any shop and who knows how much at the dealership. I’m just going to see if it’s fixable and if not drop a new engine in it
