i had my 93 looked at and i was told i have blown turbos that are leaking oil into the exhaust and the intake and some onto the manifolds also have blown intake gasket.
ive been looking around and the smoke from the exaust looks alot like smoke from blown water seal. or can the blown turbos cause the same amount of smoke?
also if i have blown water seal wold it over heat bc when i bought the car the other day i drove it about 100 miles with 0 heating prob at all from were i got the car to the shop i took it to.

the turbos. When my turbos blew several times the smoke bad.. If it where a coolant problem you would have probably noticed it during your drive..

what colour is your smoke?
if its white itl be coolant.
if its black / blue its oil.

has your coolant visibly gone down?

Black smoke is fuel, oil is grey/blueish but lingers in the air for quite a while. Coolant smoke will be pure white and evaporate within 10-15 feet of the car.

im not to sure what the color was but it was darker and when i turned it over in the street and revved it a little it smoked out the street and the smoke stayed around for a good wile till the wind took it away or dispersed it

What shop looked at it? If they aren't experienced with FDs, it would be difficult for them to correctly diagnose any issues. The car is a bit complicated.

If the smoke dispersed, then it might just be the usual smoke you see when you first start any car. If there was really a problem with something leaking oil or coolant into the combustion chamber, the problem wouldn't go away once it got warm.

Rick's Rotary is in Pleasanton if you want an experienced opinion on the car. I'm in Mountain View if you are ever in the Bay area and want a non-pro person to offer an opinion.
