Default White smoke - turbo?
White exhaust smoke is supposed to indicate a bad turbo - but how do you tell for sure that the turbo is leaking? Is there some sort of inspection or test that can be performed? Thanks.

Default RE: White smoke - turbo?
You can remove the exhaust pipe at the turbo and see if there is oil there.
Or try to remove the induction pipe to the turbo and see if it is seized.

The car doesn't overheat at all does it?
