I pulled the engine, and my exhaust ports are dry. My coolant seals are fine, since I wasn't looking any from driving.

If it was oil control rings, wouldn't I see oil in the exhaust ports? The smoke was whiteish. It would smoke randomly at idle, but now started to smoke every time I start the car.

When I rev the engine, the smoke goes away. The engine is a 6 port turbo. The car made boost when it was driving. I'm waiting on breaking apart the engine. Would I be able to see a cracked seal or not until I break the engine down?

There's no oil in the charge pipe or intercooler, but there is some play in the turbo. What would cause the car to smoke randomly? I have the engine pulled and I cannot see anything that would show which housing was the culprit.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Bud.

 

What did the exhaust smell like?

 

Exhaust plain. No sweet smell to it. Had some what of an oily smell.

 

I took the engine apart, and the oil control o ring is fine, no tears or anything. But I did find that the apex corner seals were stuck. Would that have contribute to the white smoke?
