Hazard

In diesel vehicle turbochargers, the seal packing structure at the rotating shaft seal is inadequate. Continued operation in this condition may cause turbocharger lubricating oil to accumulate in the intake manifold during prolonged idling. During acceleration and similar conditions, this oil may be drawn into the combustion chamber and expelled as white smoke from the exhaust pipe. In the worst case, vehicle speed may become difficult to reduce temporarily.
