<< With coming into a '85 turbo EXP (w/ a turbo leaking oil into the intake

 the car had EXTREMELY bad detonation.  When I repaired the turbo (stopped the
 oil leak) the detonation went away (and all that blue smoke :) ).  I've heard
 that oil in the air/fuel mixture causes detonation and I'd like to know why?
 Any intelligent answers out there?? 
 
 Thanks....

Oil has a very low octane rating that is why.
