Aside from the smoke, do you have any other problems? Hard starting when the engine is warm?

And, are you losing coolant? If you're not, it's not the coolant seals.

well theres an oil leak in the secondary turbo. the cars been parked for like 3 months now, cuz i dont have the money to fix the ****, but it would start up just fine. the reason why its parked is because the radiator cracked, and the thermostat stuck closed. but i already got a koyo radiator, new hoses and thermostat. the smoke/steam doesnt fully go away after a few minutes of running.
