Well, i parked my 1g last night, only to find my car is smoking. I pop the hood and can barely open my eyes cause of them watering up. I look down below the car only to see some kind of fluid draining EVERYWHERE. The car was sizzling right below the turbo? what coudl this possibly be?
 
I had the same prob, but not that bad. If you have a 4G63 then right above the turbo theres a coolant line, if you were running your car hard, the stock clamp holding that line will leak out, and burn off under and around the turbo, I thought I blew my turbo and it was oil, but it wasn't. Just a thought.

Sounds like some kind of oil leak and its getting on the hot exhaust parts. That or the dipstick may have popped out if you were driving it hard, that will make smoke go everywhere when you stop.
