I'm getting a white cloud of smoke in back of my car when I boost it. Off boost its fine. I this this problem for two days now. I was driving home from work I and I boost it and when I look out my rear view mirror its smoke city. when I let off it the smoke goes right away. off boost the car drives fine. no oil in the coolant. My breather hose is laying on my tranny. anyone got any suggestions?

 

white smoke sounds like coolant

 

turbo seals??

Check your head gasket, have the car running and look for bubbles in the radiator when the cap is off... also sheck your oil for signs of coolant... good luck

 

you are bruning coolant some place.

White Smoke = Coolant
Black = Fuel
Blue = Oil

check around for any leaks . . . . .

 

Like Derek said, it's probably a blown headgasket. Does it overheat at all when it idles for awhile after driving? Any signs of coolant blowing out the overflow?

 

no. it never overheats. I checked the coolant and oil and it non in either. its a oil only turbo.

I did notice something today though while I was reving the motor. the turbo return flange gasket is leaking. its actually smoking a little from there. whel I rev the motor at 4-5000 RPM I can see oil trying to come out of the flange seal. I thought it was a straight flow from the return to the oil pan. oil shouldn't have time get up there.

 

bump

 

check your spark plugs
