head gasket the culprit?

[boosted86]

yesterday when i went for a drive, and i dropped into second spooled up to around 5k(seem to spool fine) i noticed a Giant cloud of white smoke in my rear view. I thought maybe i had blown the turbo but when i got home i took off the intake and inspected the blades ... normal shaft play(1 to 2 cm) it wasn't hitting the housing or any thing. i was thingking one to two things my turbo seal went and the hot side is dumping oil into the exhaust or the Hg went and I'm dumping oil out. I also have crank case pressure because of the fact that my dipstick is popping out< just to throw that in there ( if that can mean anything?sorry for the long thread/thanks

Do you get the white smoke all the time, or just under boost?

Most likely your turbo, oh and white smoke is coolent, oil is blue-ish

white smoke is coolant? look in your coolant for oil. or even check your radiator hose for air you'll feel it if there is.
