white smoke
i have a turbo'd sohc motor and there's been white smoke coming out the exhaust. No smell of burning coolant...I'm pretty sure I'm burning oil somewhere...smells like burning oil. Compression was fine 175-180-180-185. No oil in front of my block. I'm using 5w-30 Amsoil. My drain line seems pretty okay. What are the signs of my turbo having bad bearings? Anyone know anything about warranties on garett t3's? Thanks for the info.

compression is fine and coolant level and temperature is fine. I doubt it's a blown headgasket. I'm definately burning oil, not coolant. I'm unsure if it's becuase of the drain line or the bearings on the turbo.

no overheating and coolant level is fine. I'm pretty confident its not the headgasket. Anyone know where I can get a stainless steel braided return line fabricated?
