i was driving kind of hard and when i got out of my car i had white smoke coming out from somewhere.... i opened my hood and there it was(top middle). i checked my oil and it was at "E" and after i put about 1 and a half quarts i thought it would be fine. it was going good for a while (30 mins) and once agian i decided to push. and agian after i got out of my car, yup you guessed it, more smoke. while i was pushing it, it felt kind of slower. could it be that one of my turbos is shot? it smells like somethings burning. not oil but like burning metal. i need help someone please

 

Did you open the hood to see where in the engine bay the smoke was coming from? What color was the smoke?

 

it was at night and i really couldnt see anything but it was coming from the top middle so i guess it was where the the second turbo and the tranny is. and it looked like it was coming from under(not on top of the engine). i dont know if i should do it agian at the daytime because im scared it might just kill my engine. and the smoke was white

 

ur turbo is shot. Or the motor. You have oil just leaking onto the pre-cat or downpipe. WHen mine did that motor was bye bye

 

it might be my motor because i get boost (12psi) and it was smoking after i turned the car off. but it was less this time maybe because i drove for a shorter distance.

 

could always be those damned turbo coolant hoses if it smelled sweet.

 

Try this one out...

Here is the pic that doesn't show up in the thread.

 

oh yeah i forgot to mention that i had a leak in the oil pan and i got a new gasket but it was ok for only a while and agian it drips. what a pain

 

Does it seem like it's dripping at the rear of the engine? You might just be overfilling the oil. I've done that before.

 

Could be your turbos. How does your primary come up? Does it come up quick, or a little slow. We get used to the turbos coming up a little slower(from age or bad cellenoids), but a proper working twin setup should really come up hard.
I just replaced my twins, and when the twins really went south, the exact thing happened to me.
I also had smoke come up from where you're talking about when my rear main seal was leaking.
hope that helps.....

 

what happened when u overfilled, i think i might have done the same

 

i have a non-sequential setup so i couldnt really tell. i took it to a shop to get a paint job (something i was waiting for, for a long time) and im just hoping and praying that when its done that everything will be ok. hahah just playing ill probably take it to a damn shop, damn car spends more money then i do, i still love it though

 

It might be your rear main seal if you're not noticing boost issues.

 

im sorry, still kind of a newb, what the hell is the rear main seal?

 

Wow, you really are a newb...

Main bearings are the bearings that support a piston-engine crankshaft, or in the case of a rotary engine, the eccentric shaft. The rear main seal is the seal for the rear main bearing that keeps the oil that lubes that bearing from leaking out. It would leak near the back of the engine or from the bell-housing (the structure that houses the clutch).

 

i really hope so it would be better to fix that then rebuilding the turbos
