Most of the time at WOT i get some gray smoke, not black, and sometimes when i have no boost yet and get on it its usually a grayish color, not white, and not black, I've done "some" research on it, and one person suggested somethign wrong with the turbo, others mentioned head gasket, I don't think its that because the truck runs fine other than the different colored smoke.

I have also noticed recently that when I park on an incline( front end forward) on the turbo side I have a very small leak on the ground after several hours of being parked, not sure if this is related, but I thought i'd throw that out there...

Thanks for the input!

Gray smoke at WOT is normal.

Most call it "haze".

Don't know on the other issue.

You might try pulling the intake tube off the turbo and see if there is any oil in there.
Oil line or return could be leaking at the turbo.

Alright thanks, just wondering why i'm not putting out black smoke much, not that I'm trying to smoke out every car behind me just figured it'd be more black and not gray. I'l check the lines near the turbo this weekend to see if anything is loose or if I can see any oil spots.
