hi all, ive recently got an issue with the b18ft smoking on idle, now if i take the car for a long drive itll be ok and start it from cold it will be ok, but if i take it for a long drive then turn it off for a short while,eg petrol station, start it then it smokes like hell, only on idle though as soon as i start driving the smoke goes, the colour is almost white which suggests to me from past experience turbo exhaust side seal gone, but no play in shaft, never run turbo above 11psi so it hasnt been over strained,the engine has done just over 100thou and i am running 10/40 semi oil and have done around 2500 miles on this oil, could there be a slim chance the oil is too thin and seeping past seals ect??? thanks for help in advance. tim
