"White smoke" when the motor is "cold" could be just water vapor. My car does it in the mornings when the temperature is < 70 degrees or so.

If its thick white smoke, that's coolant burning. But that would probably happen all the time.

Sounds to me like just water vapor. Does it goes away when the car warms up?

 

well it just started yesterday right after they cleaned out the motor. then it does go away but i dont think its temp thing cause car was warm i think!

 

how do you treat the turbo on there??

 

ok saying my clutch has been broke for a month and i've been waiting on the clutch to arrive. but i just got the car with 50,000 miles so could be a seal in the vf22! right

 

So if my car blows out white smoke thats not thick , my turbo seals could be goin bad?

 

all depends man, oil in a turbo car can be getting burnt anywhere, there are so many things that could be doing it this is what my uncle says. he works on all the aftremarket work mastro does. he is in drew park at the end of grady headin north.advanced auto repair.check it out, cause i have no clue.

 

White smoke isn't oil, oil is blue smoke. White smoke is coolant.

 

dont say that the turbo cant be bad because it only has 50,xxx on it...my buddy up here has an 05 wrx and the turbo went bad...i dont know why, but it happend..and it smoked...my turbo is bad on my sr, and it smokes occasionally...not when im running it or driving it, but when it idles...sounds like your prob to me.
