ok heres the story, 2 bolts that hold my turbo to my manifold came loose so i had a huge exhaust leak, i pulled the manifold and pulled the turbo off. i put a **** load of lock tight and used lock washers this time. i also used wd-40 on some of the bolts on my head. i spilt some oil from the oil return and stuff like that 2. after i finished up i turned the car on and it started to smoke alittle, it looks like its coming from where the DP meets the turbo but im not positive. could it be stuff burning off? i let it run for about 10 mins and it stopped smoking as much and just started to smoke alittle every once and awhile. my car never smoked before this so i dont think its the turbo seals. BTW the smoke looks white and doesnt smell like oil or exhaust, it smells weird kinda like lock tight, what do you guys think? please help.


Cliff notes: need help please take the time to read this.

Yea its burning off probally...

 

any way to see if its the seals? if it was the seals it would like come out int he same amounts all the time right? not come out for 2 mins then stop for 5 then alittle more for 2?

 

WD-40 is my guess

 

its not smoking ne more i guess it was just burn off stuff

 

no its the loctite. if you dont use the high temp **** then it just melts and burns. i know the smell, ive had it on my car a few times, i wouldnt worry. it took like a whole day to fully burn off.
