Smoking Turbo
HI, my turbo is smoking ... the color of the smoke is grey and a little maybe blue... the smell is like ..gasoline i guess. Is that a sign the engine is "eating oil"????? and is time to repair the engine..?

Re: Smoking Turbo
Is the oil or coolant consumption high?
Some ideas here......

But they forgot about turbos, so yes could be this if using oil.
