problems, problems and more problems
ok, i just got done cleaning up my car and installing a e- fan, i decided to put it all back togather and see if the fuel pump cut off switch i installed worked, and so i started it up, first off the fuel pump switch didn't work but a more pressing issue is that after running for a few minutes i noticed smoke comming from somewhere near the turbo, i took off the intake and looked around, the smoke seemed to be comming from the turbo manafold for the most part, it also seemed to be comming from the lower coolent hose, it wasn't alot of smoke but smoke non the less and more than enough to realy get me worried, there is also not alot agean but a little oil on the bottom of the turbo manafold... please any help would be nice, im realy worried, i thought that maby my turbo was blown but since its comming from the turbo manafold right next to the engine it realy scared ...

I do believe it is normal to get a little oil in your manifold when the car has been sitting a long time. I am sure someone will correct me if the late hour has sapped my brain. If that is the case it will burn off and you will be no worse for wear.
