Default Smoking problem

Hi I need some help pls I've got a 1994 subaru impreza turbo import on start up I get no smoke when it boosts I get White smoke from the exhaust and also smoke coming from the engine bay I think the smoke from engine bay is coming from between the turbo and where it joins to the exhaust the car runs fine doesn't splutter or play up no lose of power thanks

White smoke is usually water, so anything from a simple leak to a blown head gasket

Thanks for that also the smoke coming from engine bay between turbo and exhaust is caused from oil leaking could this also point to head gasket thanks

First thing i would do is get it to a garage and have a sniffer test done, this will confirm or rule out the HG. Its pointless pi$$ing about trying to fix secondary leaks if the head/s need to come off anyway
