oil and smoke...
definitely just took a coworker out for a good flogging run in the car, and wheni parked it, it smelled like oil in the engine bay, and there was some pretty good blue/white smoke coming out of the tailpipe. not sure if it was blue or white (oil or coolant) but it smelled more like oil and/or normal exhaust, not sweet smelling like i remember coolant to be.
think i saw a couple dots of oil splatter on the turbo manifold, too...
unfortunately i wasn't datalogging, so i can't assure myself that i didn't lean spike and smoke something, i'm thinking i may have flogged on it before it was warmed up enough, and maybe put some not-all-that-flowing oil pressure through the turbo and suffered some blown seal action? dunno if that would account for an oil splatter on the manifold, though...
