hey guys the other day white blue smoke was coming out of my exhaust when the car is warmed up and I began to rev it up to high rpms and more smoke will come out with a bad odor like coolant, anyway after searching the forums I am coming to a conclusion that it might be the turbo I removed the inlet pipe and when I pushed the vents they completely spun around, but when I checked my fingers they had alot of oil on them, I dont know if this is relevant to a bad turbo any info will help me thanks. Oh yeah the car is a 97 gst, and also when I removed the cover to the spark plugs there was alot of oil and there is also alot of oil around the valve cover im guessing that that might be a gasket issue?
 
It's possibly a gasket issue. I had a cracked valve cover on my GSX that leaked once oil pressure rose, but that shouldn't be related to your situation at all.

Sounds like there's some blowby in the PCV system pushing oil into the intake - I've had this happen as well, although it was a result of a blown engine. Sounds like yours isn't blown, at least you made no mention of any performance loss or abnormal noise.

Check hoses, the PCV valve, and your valve cover gasket, somewhere in there could be the issue.
