Brand New! Exhaust Smoke
My exhaust is smoking heavily. i think that there is a small oil leak off the turbo into the exhaust manifold
what can i do, i was thinking of changing the turbo but i dont have all the money for the upgraded computer yet.
any tips would be much appreciated. tHx.

have you over heated it lately.... because usally white smoke indicates a blown coolant seal. doens the smoke smell sweet? if so you had better plan on a rebuild.

well you're giong to need to rebuild the turbo or replace it in the near future. If its leaking oil on the exhaust side, chances are its not long (if it hasn't happened already) before its blowing oil out the compressor.
Pull off the first I/C coupler on the turbo and see if shes wet with oil inside. Also check the shaft play on the turbo and make sure the thing isn't ready to blow apart on ya.
Really though there's no way to stop the smoking until you rebuild or replace your turbo. (presuming its not a toasted oil control ring, athough you'd be losing TONNES of oil and leaving a batman style smoke screen if that was the case)
