smoke around/under the turbo BUG
 

hey noticed today when i parked up at the petrol station grey smoke from under my turbo it doesnt look major its asif i hav a leak on the exhaust manifold... has any1 had the same trouble...

Possibly a rocker gasket leak dripping on to headers

Check to see if the breather housing is leaking its right of the turbo.

just took my intercooler off and the bellly tray, had a good look and feel around everything looks dry .... its a mystery, gunu w8 til the mornin then let it get warm c what happens, the only way i can explain the smell is the smell of a new exhaust warming up...???

still playin up :( only now n then when it gets hot if i tick over for a wile then pull away about 1/4mile down the road it smokes from the scoop coming from the turbo area, also iv noticed now n then abit of smoke out the exhaust :( its just ticked over to 79k :( i hav a nasty feelin it could b the oil seals in the turbo :(

oh howeva it still runs fine :S ....

Is it coolant leaking from the pipe to the turbo? This can smoke but completely dissapears....
