what happened

[mattspyder]

so im driving onto the interstate, and my car starts smoking like crazy, so i pull over and i notice its coming what look likes out of the front 02 sensor, anyone know why the hell it would be doing this??

No idea because you gave us no details.

What color smoke? Is the o2 sensor not in the housing all the way? Are you losing any fluids, such as oil or coolant? You've got to be more detail in your posts. Short and sweet doesn't cut it when it comes to troubleshooting. The more detail then easier it will be to figure out.

Here is what you need to do. Answer ^^^ those questions.
Then pull the LICP off and see if there is any oil in the pipe. Then, run a compression test.

Wait till it cools down all the way, then take the intake off and check for shaft play on the turbo.

??? If the turbo is making smoke, it's because of the seals, not the shaft play. Shaft play indicates a bad thrust bearing. That will cause a scraping/whining sound. Could you please explain oddrob? I figured pulling the LICP off to see if there was any oil in the pipe would be the correct first step to this problem..?

If there is excessive shaft play the shaft will move around and damage the seals.
