Dark nasty smoke = burning oil ??? (plz help)
guys i really need your help, i'm afraid i need a new engine.
when i start the car the is a huge amount of smoke that is coming out that smells nasty. It is a very dark grey smoke that covers the drive way in a few seconds.
I've been told that its burning oil, i have no idea what is going on with it. I havent driven it in 2 weeks, but I will take it to a mechanic next week.

oil in exhaust = smoke screen. if it was coolent it would have a slightly sweet smell to it. you are leaking oil...either into your exhaust...or your engine is doing it.
sorry
depending on where the oil is around the intake...that is probable oil blow back...but not really sure need mroe details.
how long has the turbo been on....how have you driven the car...etc. etc.
