Bad smell in cabin / White smoke under hood 2016 D5
Grr..
Dont know where to start. We bought the car in July and few days later we realised it has oil smell when you do a bit of journey. Asked the firm we bought the car which they said to take it to a garage they know.
lifted the car onto ramp, they said they cant see anything obvious. So in August we didnt use the car for a bit, then in Sept we started driving and doing long journeys. Immediately theres a smoke again.
So i decided to dig into it. I removed the top plastic cover, wifey on the gas pedal, it started throwing smoke behind the engine
then we took it a mechanic - he pointed out to the turbo. Theres a smoke coming out of side / notch
has anyone had similar issues??

are you consuming any oil or coolant? Turbos get very hot on the exhaust side so anything dripping or spraying onto it will vaporize/smoke so best to clean up the area and determine where the leak is. Could be the turbo seals (rare for such a new car), could be an oil return line gasket (they make a mess) or could be any other line from the back of the engine such as the heater hoses.
