what just happened

[sleek98]

ok so i was replacing my tube that goes from the valve cover to the intake manifold, and i go to start it up and tons of white smoke comes pouring out the exhaust. so i was looking for where it is smoking. i find a nice big puddle of oil under my down pipe, so i traced it to the o2 housing then i cant tell where its comming from. I took off the exhaust manifold and i see that the gasket (mani to turbo) is stained with oil and thats where the oil is comming from. i would have to push the gas a little to get it to start and it wouldnt idle unless i back out the biss screw all the way out. no that its idleing, at like 5-600 rpms. (its set on the dsmlink to idle at 1050). i rev it up and all it does is sputter and smoke alot.

what has happened??????

the seals on your turbo may have gone. Check them out as the housing is connected to the manifold. The white smoke is weird becuase that normally means a headgasket/coolant problem. Coolant does run through the turbo as well so that could be an issue to look for. good luck man.
