White Smoke, but not from exhaust...
Ok guys i wouldnt normally cry for help but this one has me stumped...
I have a 2000 Integra LS Turbo'd, all was going fine and dandy until the weekend before last, I was aggressively ascending a bridge and smoke everywhere! well i got it towed home thinking my head gasket blew.. ok so i guess you can say i was throwing parts at it, cuz i replaced the head gasket this week (but hey it gave me a chance to change it and look at how bad my internals had gotten) well pistons and rings seem to be great, infact they are in awesome condition for as hard as i used to run the car, compression holds true also, i did discover that my PCV system had messed up so i fixed that. Well to no avail it still smokes at around 60mph, at first i thought it was turbo oil seals since the smoke only comes from under the manifold, not the exhaust, but my turbo holds boost just fine, it sounds fine, no shaft play it spins freely, so i thought maybe its the CC, well i pulled it off it was in bad shape so i put a high flow CC(aka straight pipe) in, still smokes, and i mean smokes alot when you get on it, doesnt seem to be boost related, but it maybe... im running a 18g TD05 and prior to the accident i was pushing 10psi with a BC, now ive got it dialed back down to 6ish psi and it still does it about the same point, no fouled plugs, no smoke in the exhaust, just from under the manifold. Think my turbo is shot?
Please help...

Ok stand down... dont need you guys ideas anymore, not that you gave any in the first place.. ive figured it out, its my oil feed line to the turbo, im guessing its a small leak cuz it doesnt shoot out until oil pressure builds up, sprays oil all over my exhaust and thats the smoke im getting.
