ok so i took my pos for a spin yesterday to the local coffee stand to get some java (Hot *** blond works there you get the point) and when i got back i opened the hood to make sure the thing was in one piece and i saw a tiny poof of smoke coming from the plate on the exhaust housing between the comp/exhaust... i have bad seals so the thing smokes already. Do you think this might be some bad exhaust smoke passing though the seals? turbo has minimal shaft play and no oil is coming out anywhere, all lines are perfect. so what do you think@!?

 

seals might be leaking oil into the hot side causing the black smoke.... exhaust gas isnt usually black like smoke is

rebuild maybe, DIY kit on ebay about 90 bucks and 2 hours
