Smoke from the turbo area is most likely from a leaky oil line; probably just an old gasket.

What did he say the catch can was needed for? Coolant overflow?

he said "the oil thing was pressurized,an he was going to buy a catch can but never had the time to, an if i wanted to put one just remove the thing on a nipple where the oil neck goes down to,it should be on the dark grey iron"
