I was autocrossing yesterday, my friends said I kept locking up the tires, and getting clouds of smoke, especially when stopping after the finish. Only thing is I wasn't braking that hard. So afterwards driving around I noticed that when I boost my turbo revving to about 5k and let off I get a white cloud of smoke out the back. However when I am at 5k rpm and not boosting and let off the throttle no smoke. At least I'm glad its not blue smoke, and my coolant level is going down. So definitely burning up tha coolant.

Does this indicate a problem with the just the turbo or should I be worried about the coolant seals in the engine itself?

 

Typically its a small puff of med. gray smoke, and it is normal. Unless your exhaust smells like coolant, you s/b fine. Carl

 

Well engine runs smooth, boost I'm seeing is normal, temps are fine, but this definitely is something that just started happening, guess I'll have to see if there is a smell of coolant in the exhaust.
