white smoke

[elvizsupramk3]

i have my car open dwn pipe . uhmm white snoke is coming out near the turbo area. idk wat could it be. i put new head gaskets hks metal ones. new piston rings i dnt run the car hard at all. can it b the turbo smoking? also on the highway smoke comes in from the passenger air vent and it smells like oils being burnt! i did a oil change and god i was scared not too much oil came out. hope nothing serious is wrong with the car . spent over 3k on rebuilding motor.

Check the oil supply hose and return line to make sure there not leaking. Check both the turbo and engine side of the lines this is a common leak spot.

Did you just do engine rebuild with old turbo? or rebuild turbo also? Make sure it is smoke and not steam. I just blew a head gasket and it looked like white smoke but was thick steam. Could have an internal coolant leak on turbo. You can eliminate that by pinching off coolant lines for testing purpose only would not reccomend spooling turbo without proper cooling to it.

How do all your pcv hoses look? i dont think a leaking turbo would show oil on the inlet side? Maybe wrong but i am used to seeing oil on charge or hot side of turbo, from bad seals. Inlet i think is pcv related.

unless the turbo seals are really bad, then you can get it in the inlet, mine did anyway and i had a catch can hooked up so it wasnt pcv

trace amounts of oil inside the inlet hoses is common.. not something to flip out about. I will say your turbo is leaking oil. but suspect the white smoke is getting burned off from a leak some other place.. if your turbo was leaking the oil it would be a bluish color coming out on Deceleration. this thread had some interesting comments that sounded like your particular problem
