Alright no matter what if I boost or don't today I noticed that when I'm at a light I see smoke coming from the hood! Not like a lot but enough were I can notice...and it smells like oil....I check the oil and it's fine...still full....(SOHC/Greddy turbo/Intercooler/Vortech FMU/Greddy BOV) Any ideas?

Check your dipstick, Make sure it's in. Check around the motor to see if there's oil dripping. Check the tranny and make sure it';s not oil from there that's shooting onto the downpipe or something.

check for leaks...one time there was smoke coming out of my hood to..i didn't see any leaks but it was coming from the turbo...then i noticed that i had a kink in the oil return...after i straightend that out the smoking went away..also whenever i check my oil i sometimes spill some oil on the manifold which causes to smoke.

Well just went under my car and the hose that I was using as an oil return line touched the downpipe....it's not a major leak....but it is a slow one....already got a steel braided hose in my hand.....

Thanks for the help!
