A few days ago i turned on my car in the morning, dead cold start... and

alot of White or kinda white greyish started to come out.. it wouldnt stop

for a while... i was thinking it

could have been my seals on my turbo... i bought a brand knew turbo and

it still was smoking white.. so im thinking it could be the rings on my

piston/s.. im not too sure.

any ideas?

usually in the moring youll get that due to condensation within the exhaust , but if it persit far after you have warmed up the car most likely your hg blew

first check your radiator fluid. does it go low? second check for any signs of oil in coolant system. then put cap back on and start. warm up completely. if just a pure white smoke comes out it will be coolant leaking into cylinders. if it is white with a blue hue to it, it is oil.
if it warms up and no smoke your in the clear, but just to be sure i would pressure test the cooling system with a special pressure tester.
couple of possibilities of coolant. cracked head,cracked block, iacv or tb leaking coolant in to intake, or head gasket which is most likely the cause. Do you have to keep adding coolant into car? if so you got a cross leak.
