    Exclamation Sea Foam Issue

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,

    Just did another sea foam on the car today. All was going well, except I started getting smoke coming from the turbo side of the motor. Not sure if it is the exhaust gasket or a bad seal somewhere. I performed the seafoam cleaning as per the DIY. After the test drive there was no more smoke visible in the bay or the from the exhaust. Anyone have any ideas what it may be, and is it a cause for concern?

    That's a common occurrence, nothing to worry about if it went away.

    Same thing happened to me when I did SeaFoam. I think it was just a small exhaust leak in the gasket. Wasn't a major issue but I replaced the gaskets when I put my test pipe in.

    This is a common issue with the seafoam, and dissapears soon after it is not a big deal.
