Here is a video of it smoking.. Not sure why it is? I looked under the car to see if there was any signs of a leak.. No wet spots / surfaces under the header, nothing on the down pipe, nothing under the turbo itself either

I know that the old oil line I had to the turbo ha busted and caused a past existing leak - but I used brake cleaner and air and cleaned off the existing oil and even if there was something I missed - ran the car for 10-15 min letting the car idle to make sure timing was right and letting the motor burn any excess oil I missed and with how the lighting position is currently - it looks like it's coming from the bottom from where the turbo is connected to the header

Possible bad gasket there?
