leaking oil.

ok so i just got my car to where i can trouble shoot. it is leaking out on the hotside. just filled it a few day's ago and got my injectors put back in then i go to start it and it is spewing oil out of the exhaust and found a small puddle under the hotside.
it is spewing white smoke that smells like gas when i start it and it wont maintain idle. any ideas anybody?

I will get pics and a video when i get home.

If it's spewing that much oil, either one of the oil lines around the turbo is bad and/or the oil seals in the turbo/engine are bad.

white smoke means coolant is getting into the combustion chamber. Start with the "champagne bubbles" test with the upper coolant cap removed to check for a coolant leak inside the engine. Then make sure all your oil lines are sealed properly and those aren't leaking.

If you can borrow a turbo from a friend that would let you eliminate the turbo as the cause. Because if it's not the turbo, its the motor.

okay so i put some more oil on it and it creates more of the smoke with oil in it. so what does that mean exactly? i am gonna see if i can replace the turbo with a s5 unit and see if that makes any differance.
