Exhaust smoke at idle... Is my turbo leaking oil?

We have helped a lot of customers fix what they thought was a leaking turbine seal. In most cases, the turbo was indeed leaking. But why? We are here to answer that question and show you how a very very simple test can save you time and money!
Your turbo could most certainly be leaking oil. From the excessive smoking at idle and even after it warms up, its pretty noticeable. That does NOT always mean you have to tear your turbo out and rebuild or replace it right away. It also does not mean your turbo is going out or defective.

First try this quick test to see if the smoke clears up.
Step 1: Remove oil fill cap.
Step 2: Drive it like you stole it for 10-15 mins.
Step 3: Inspect exhaust opacity at idle again.

If it is clear again, then you have a CCV issue. Easy fix.
