<----------------- ????

oh and I doubt its a turbo gasket. When I blew my turbo it was a thick BLUE smoke and smelled like oil. sounds like you have a coolant leak which my first motor had a broken center steel

if i'm not mistaken, you are looking at an eventual engine rebuild...not cheap.

1200 and up....or you can do it yourself for around 600? assuming that you don't have tools and stuff.
