Oily Exhaust?
Heya Reddit. Hope all is well with you.
A few months ago, a pothole ate my exhaust system off my '12 Golf CJAA, and it has since been "replaced". Things have been great the past few months, but recently (As of last week) I've noticed that there's a few seconds of white smoke on startup, the smell of exhaust is less "Diesely" like my truck and more "oily", and there's this residue on the exhaust tips...
Give it to me straight. am I cooked? Guessing Turbo, but looking into what else it could be as well. I'd bring it in, but my favorite shop can't see me for a few months.
