Ok, to try and shorten this ive had a intermittent puff of smoke out the exhaust for a few weeks...it has been only when i punch it and make boost etc...

Now it seems it has got alot worse, my cabin filled with lots of smoke and so much behind me i couldn't see anything...this scared the shit outta me. Engine was still running perfectly and so on. I took it home and jacked it up, had a look underneath at the turbo and i saw the following

i don't have a turbo timer on my car and from the photos, you might not be able to see in detail, but around the housings, both exhaust and turbine, there is oil leaking out...just about everywhere...is this my turbo seals gone??

Sorry for the long post, im worried about my car and don't know much about turbos in general...any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Seems like it. but the only way you will know is take it out and take it to someone to check it out. And for shit sakes man get yourself a turbotimer $59 from repco for a little thing and its auto :P

ok, thanks alot for your comments guys. i'll see what i can pull together...my car is getting a tune up on the 22nd so a compression test will be on the cards now too. Ill see what is in store for a new turbo. was thinking something along the lines of a bigger one with external gate.

Anyway, let you all know how it goes! thanks again
