    Hi pls help what could be the caused of engine smoke when my exhaust has smoke also? Could it be exhaust tightening? Could it be sensor? Broke bushing? Leak from front cam cover? Breather pipe? Etc. We just changed the right side turbo then before we changed this happens on the left part of the engine.

    Do you mean when engine running visible exhaust leaves tail pipe and you see visible exhaust in the engine bay? If yes, is there oil leaking on to exhaust headers? Is there an exhaust manifold leak?

    Yes there is but usually the smoke on exhaust and engine only appears when the car is in inclined position. When i’m full stopped and accelerate from zero. When there is a need for more effort for the car. Unlike flat surface i don't see any smoke on the exhaust tip and engine bay.

    Oil being burned on an exhaust pipe has a certain smell to it, different than the exhaust gasses. Can you see where it is coming from with the engine running?
