My 2017 Corsa EcoFlex is giving me trouble now that a new turbo was installed. Even still, after only 5 miles, the engine still smells hot, and the temperature gauge remains at 84°C with no water loss or indications of water in the oil. I discovered that the air outlet pipe was clogged with oil after changing the thermostat, which hinders adequate cooling. I want to know whether the diaphragm or oil separator might be the problem. What could be the reason of this problem, and has anyone else encountered it? Thank you!
 
A faulty thermostat can prevent the engine from reaching optimal operating temperature, while a malfunctioning water pump can reduce coolant circulation, leading to overheating.
 
I’ve already replaced the thermostat, and there’s no water loss or overheating, just the hot smell and oil in the outlet pipe. Could a clogged oil separator cause this?
