so a shop told me that my seals are bad in my turbo and thats the reason i was smoking form the tailpipe..so i got my turbo rebuilt and still smoking..what can cause this, i rebuilt my motor 8kmiles ago, rebuilt turbo,..i dont know what can it be.
Also, theres alot of air comin out through the dipstick tunnel when i take out the stick..
Any help will be apprectiated..thanks in advance
 
so maybe possbibly a head gasket

Big white clouds that smell sweet or like water can be an indication that your head gasket is out and allowing coolant to enter the combustion chamber. Have you checked your coolant level in the radiator hose/cap? If you're abnormally low, you could be 'burning' coolant due to a faulty head gasket.

i think so, it will be low on coolant.. when i started it wen i put the turbo the other day, i put water because it needed some and after a while of warming up(still smoking).. and i checked my water the day after and it needs water..ima lookin into that ###### this friday after skool..
 
From your description it sounds like maybe a headgasket issue. Another thing to try is to do a leakdown test. If you do the leakdown and notice a drop in a particular cylinder, pop open the radiator cap and see if there's air bubbling out. If so, that's an indication of a blown/leaky headgasket.
 
what do your plugs look like?

i took my plugs out agian and plug number 3 is wet and the rest look good..
how would i do the leakdown test?
 
so i took of my head and noticed that the headgasket was full of oil and the exhaust port number3 was full oil..and i had a ?..i had my motor rebuilt by shop and had them install je forged je pistons, i noticed that some of the pistons where kinda warped and a lil melted..in my understanding, forged pistons aren't suppose to do this
