Best Answer

A loud whining noise, excessive oil consumption, loss of power, and a vehicle that smokes can be symptoms of a failing turbo. Also, a failed turbo sometimes leaks oil that can be seen on the body of the turbo, and a failing turbo many times deposits oil on the piping that leads to the throttle body.

How do you know if your turbo is the problem?

When turbos go out on a car, it is often very obvious. A failed/failing turbo will produce a loud whining noise most of the time and will be paired with a significant loss of horsepower and torque. These are two key things to look for. I have also heard of failed/failing turbos producing excessive smoke, but this could also be caused by something like a head gasket leaking oil on a hot block, which makes excessive smoke a solid but not certain sign that your turbo is at its end.
