Smoking Turbo

[Big_O]

Havent run the car for a few months but had no previous issues with the turbo. Got it running this morning and there is a bit of smoke coming from the unit and smoke from the tail pipe. Is it possible that its just crap being burnt off or could it knackered? Turbo is about 6 years old but has done less than 10k. Thanks

did you prime the engine with the king lead off before firing the car up.?

It's probably just oil sat in the turbo elbow/exhaust from when it's been sat. Or a bit has made it past the valve stem seals while its been stood.
Take it for a good run for an hour or so, get it nice and warm and it'll prob' burn off. :)
