Smoke coming from headlight

[FL5ghost]

Hello, as many of you know, I blew my MHI stage 2 turbo a month ago. The car is back on the road with the oem turbo. The MHI stage 2 turbo blew oil everywhere and needed a deep cleaning. I noticed the car smoking after driving yesterday and today. I drove calmly yesterday and aggressively this morning. There's no burning smell or unusual sounds. The car feels great. Could this be from condensation in the AC lines? I'm assuming most of the residual oil is burned off. I replaced the turbo gasket due to a slight leak, but there are no oil leaks now.

Slightly off topic, but did you diagnose why the turbo failed?

I haven't seen AC condensation manifest like this outside of the car. Pressures and temps look like they're in normal ranges.

If you open the hood does the smoke come out elsewhere? Could also take the bumper off to trace where it's coming from

Turbo shaft nut came loose. No smoke when the car is at idle or when I pop the hood.

Pretty sure that's just residual oil or whatever that got all over the place when your turbo blew.

i would do a complete engine clean with that foaming degreaser, some brushes, and rinse it all off with a hose.

Checked my oil return port and to my surprise there’s a bit of oil. I must have a leak somewhere. I think it’s safe to say this may be the cause of the smoke.
