I bought my truck last fall. For the longest time it's had smoke coming out wheel well whenever I stop at a light or stop sign or whatever. Frankly i think it was going constantly even while i was driving. I didnt find that out though until I spotted the "haze" behind me in my side mirrors when lit up by peoples headlights.

Today I finally decided enough was enough. I couldnt take it any longer, I hated blowing smoke into peoples windows beside me when i pull up at a light. The oil return line on the turbo was the wettest part of the engine. So i started there. Yup return line from turbo was leaking. It was tight though! So i took it off and noticed it had no gasket. ARRRRRRGGGG!!!

Thats all! Bought a gasket for 3$ (lordco and napa didnt have em) and it was fixed. The best part is that that was my ONLY oil leak. YAY! Its great to know i wont lose 4 quarts of oil between oil changes!
