Hi, was wondering if any one could help me with my problem? I have a 1998 Subaru impreza turbo version 4 and recently noticed a bad smell like burning rubber coming from under my bonnet. I came home the other nite and turned off the engine and noticed white smoke coming from underneath my bonnet more to the drivers side. I opened the bonnet to find the smoke coming from the uppipe which links to the turbo? Has anyone else had similar problems and knows what the issue could be? Many thanks

check for pipe work which may of fallen down and touching the turbo

if its the gasket its no expensive at all. If you know a little bit about spannering it wont cost you bugger all.

No. Keep an eye on your oil level.It is quite easy to change the gasket.you can re use the gasket, clean it and refit it using three bond liquid gasket, the grey stuff.Hope this helps.
