Hey guys I got some fuel the other day from a station in the middle of nowhere(only option for fuel). As I was pulling out of the station I noticed some white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Then it seemed to bellow only after I let out of the go pedal. Now it seems to stay pretty much all the time, and if I'm at a stoplight it will fill the intersection with white/greyish smoke. My idle is smooth and I have the same power as always. I noticed some oil leaking from the clamp at the turbo/intercooler connection. I redone it and the leak went away. I also noticed a couple of oil spots on the exhaust side of my turbo. Then after a 100 mile trip I could smell the oil as the white smoke would blow by the cabin. I then checked the oil level and everything looked good (after catching the big leak at the clamp) I then noticed oil dripping off my clamp on the lower side of the downpipe. So my thoughts are either a sticking injector, or my htt only lasted 1200 miles, possibly a HG between the cylinders, or a vp. Like I said idles good, power is good, no codes, oil level isn't changing. Is it possible that I fixed the leak and now I just have to burn through the bad fuel I got and the oil that went through the system? Any suggestions would greatly help.

 

White smoke usually means you're burning antifreeze. I'd check the radiator for coolant level and drain some oil to see if there is antifreeze in your pan. The fuel may be fine....you may have just blown a head gasket.

White smoke is also oil burning off inthe exhaust, especially with the oil leaks you mentioned that you see on the exhaust. Pull the exhaust turbo elbow(hot side) and have a look if its soaked, likely a bad turbo/bearing/seals...not uncommon for a " new" turbo to fail shortly after instal. also check the intake side of the turbo a little oil in there is normal for most turbos

 

I checked and the turbo is toast. All kinds of play. The bad thing is now I have to redo all the exhaust and everything to put the old hx-35 back on till I get this one back from htt. You would think on this new of a turbo they would send you another and you could just send the bad one back. But I guess not..
