Well my turbo picked up a bad habbit, it has started to smoke. i got under the car and there is no smoke under there, i still have one of the stock heat shields on so i cant spot exactly where its comin from. but from what i can see, its smokin from the hot side of the turbo. and A LOT. im pretty sure its not a head gasket issue. for one it doesnt have the same color as blown head gasket smoke does and for two.......the car runs fine. any ideas?
Thanks
 
What color is the smoke? When is it smoking (startup, after a while, all the time, only sometimes)?

If it's blue, then it could be your turbo seals. That means time for a rebuild. Mine's doing the same thing. I can't afford to revuild it so I'm just going to drive it till it gets worse.
 
it has a very light blue hue to it. and it smokes all the time. right as soon as it starts.
