I just put my Jspec S5 engine in my 90 TII. After driving it around a little and shutting it off, there is smoke coming from around the turbo. It burns your eyes like antifreeze, and kind of smells sweet. But its not leaking anything on the ground, or smoking out of the exhaust. Any ideas?

 

Coolant is leaking at the turbo. You can't see a leak because it boils away as soon as it exits the system.

 

it sounds like the same problem i have. i have a bit of smoke rising from that area two cant see any sign of oil or anything . what do we do to fix it could it be that it is just loose ?..

 

It's oil or coolant. Make sure the flanges and banjo bolts are tight. If the problem continues, you will want to replace the oil inlet and outlet flange gaskets, and banjo bolt o-rings. This requires pulling the turbo.
