Just replaced my turbos, because they were leaking oil and the car was smoking heavy out the end. Started my car today and say soke coming out of the rear engine bay, and my car still smoked heavy. What gives? All the oil lines and coolant lines to the turbo are fresh and tight.

Are you sure it's not just crap burning off from the repair? If you have a leak, it should be easy enough to tell where it's coming from. It it's smoking, then it must be dripping on something hot (exhaust or turbos).

Update, exhaust seems to be puching out around the downpipe area. I may have missed a bolt or something and the eexhaust is pumping out at each revolution. Ill get the scoup when i jack the car up. But what would make the car smoke so much from the tailpipe?

Is it oil smoke? That would be caused either by leaking turbos, a malfunctioning oil metering pump, or maybe bad internal oil seals.

Are you sure it's not fuel or coolant smoke?

Well, im pretty sure its oil, maybe fuel. It doesnt have that sweet smell, and i am never low on coolant. I dont think its bad seals, cause i just put in a set of pretty clean turbos. It might be my OMP but I dont really know the symptoms

I think my oil seals are going. The turbos cant be leaking so much oil. So im figuring that the seals are shot. Any ideas on how to check for this? I noticed that my exhaust manifold had a puddle of oil in it. I thought is was becuase oil from the previous turbos just flowed down in there after the car was off.
