AGP GURUS, any ideas on this issue?

[mysrt1386]

Now whenever my car comes to a complete stop it starts pumping whiteish smoke out of the exhaust. I pulled the turbo off and i see a bunch of oil in all sorts of places. Any ideas as to where I should look first or what I should tighten down?

I cant figure out whether or not its an internal or external issue, I pulled the plugs and they look fine, compression test also came back good.

here are the pics.

This first one looks interesting, it almost looks like its leaking from the outside, into the manifold and then into the exhaust stream (causing the white smoke) this is cylinder 1 and 2 look at the shiny residue



cylinders 3 and 4 look pretty dry.



this is the underside view of the alternator... wtf?



oil pan





more









please let me know if i need to post more pics. thanks!

There is just so many possibilities... whiteish smoke I believe is usually indicative of water vapor. If your compression and leak downs are good you might have damaged the seals on the turbo or possibly the easiest is the coolant and or oil lines are leaking and getting blown around the engine bay.

I'll let others of more experience and knowledge comment

That's a lot of oil leaking.

Valve Cover Gasket?
Oil feed line?
Head Gasket?

which one is the oil feed line?

and which line is the one thats to the right?


i didnt think it was the head gasket b/c there was no coolant in my oil or anything.

how do i make sure its not the turbo? i already removed it, anything i should look out for?

thx
