Bad turbo seals? Smoke after spool..

[skylinelove]

Hey guys, so I have an issue. Anytime after acceleration once the engine is nice and warm, i blow a cloud of smoke. When I don't use turbo in a light acceleration, then nothing happens. I do leak coolant, and I'm thinking this could be my turbo seals? Any advice would be great, so what do you think it is?? Thanks for reading.

color of smoke?

At first I thought it was white. But today it looked to have a blue tinge to it.

yea if its blue your burning oil. are your turbos still spooling fine? they could be on there way out

Yeah my turbo spools just fine. Still pulls hard. But today I noticed at higher revs it came out during acceleration aswell.

White = turbo oil seal failure on exhaust side

Blue = could be valve seals, rings, oilseal failure on compressor side (common failure with stock ballbearing turbo on GTS Skylines, but should hear a wailing sound and have oil deposits in bottom of intake piping after turbo).

Think if i replaced the turbo i would be okay?

burning doesnt mean its 100% the turbo could be a bunch of different things as "skym" mentioned above i would "if your not comfortable yourself" take it to a shop you trust and get them to do a compression test at the very least and check your valve seals. no sense replacing something as expensive as your turbo without making sure it isnt something else first. just sayin :P
