Another smoke problem
Sorry, i did a search but could not find any that had the same problem as i am having.
When i make a U-turn....whitish smoke poors out of my exhaust and it smells like crap and looks shitty. i was wondering what might cause smoke to come out even when the car is in neutral and making a sharp turn. The problem is only getting worse and worse. Any help or advise would be much appreciated. My car also lets darkish smoke out when my turbos are spooling up, like for example, if i were to floor it in 3rd while at 2500 rpm, smoke will poor out that is blackish. Any opinions?

black smoke means your car is too rich probably, white smoke is from burnt oil. there may be oil building up inside the exhaust/turbos somewhere, and when u u turn, it dumps into the main cat, which burns it. are u sure your car does not smoke when u change gears also? if white smoke comes out at gear changes u have bad turbos.

I've never noticed any smoke while shifting gears, atleast if there is then it's not very noticable. Is there anyway that i can check to see if it is my turbos for sure? I wouldnt want to spend the money on new turbos and still have the same problem. What would cause the oil to build up? Some of the white smoke when i make a u-turn looks like it might be comeing from under the hood as well, however i have never seen oil pile up or drip down under my car. It might appear to be comeing from under the hood just because the wind blows the smoke all around my car, i'm not really sure what to do.
