hey, i currently have this new problem with my car.
if it just start the car and warm it up it wont blow any white smoke out, but when its on a roll going over 20kph it starts to SMOKE BAD, it smells like somethings burning, checked coolent and checked oil they are fine.
recently did a mhg and arp studs.
it also smells like somethings burning could it be the turbo seals ect?
Thanks.

white usually means turbo seals but it can be other things too, some investigating is in order

oil is usually blue and can be white/gray. white is usually coolant. where is the smoke coming from?

Sorry to threadjack, but I have a similar problem, white smoke from exhaust (smells like oil) when taking off and coming to a stop. How do you know if it's engine burning oil or the turbo?

engine burning oil is usually blue, turbo is white due to heat, bhg can sometimes be white also but usually more grayish

smoke near turbo area and front cam gear area, smokes like crazy...worse than when i had a bhg. i know its not a bhg and not coolant. only smokes bad after i drive it like normal.
