the other day when i was driving my SRed 240 not beating on it just getting it into boost i notice whiteish greyish smoke comming from behind my car. but it only does that when under boost... i opened up my hood no coolant in oil and no oil in coolant. coolant still at the same level. but there is oil all over my manifold and pretty much the whole manifold side of the car. what could be wrong ive searched and nothing seems the same things i have. i was thinking maybe a blown turbo... or HG maybe?

sounds like your turbo is on the back burner. seals are begining to give out on you or better yet they already did

i just dont get how the oil got there...well just to make sure its not a head gasket im going to do a compression check tomorrow. and if that comes out good then ill start looking for a new turbo maybe this is my chance to upgrade :) thanks to all who helped

Possibly. Compression check and go from there like you have already planned. That's a good start.
