Interesting Smoke...

Found it...
Got the car on the lift and looked up at the turbos, the downpipe had coolant running down it and a nice white ash on it, hmm coolant?
ok looking further up, nice green junk, then even further looking,... find that the hard line is not on very well, leaking from that banjo fitting, tighten it up, no more problems! YAY!

well the leak has come about again, i'm loosing coolant again and smoking, i guess its rattled free again or something, plus now i have a nice oil leak...
i'm sure that the oil leak is coming from the bottom nipple on the oil filler neck, since, well its not hooked up to anything or plugged and there is oil below that spot... diagnosing this crap is getting easier, but annoying...
anybody plug theirs or did they make themselves a catchcan?

Just bypass the coolant to the turbos!!! to see if that fixes it for sure. And if it works just leave it. I plan on getting rid of the coolant that runs thru the turbos as it is pointless in my eyes.

pointless in what aspect? i mean, the coolant lines were engineered by mazda to help cool the turbos when they get hot... right? i mean not giving credit to some of the BS that mazda engineeres F'd up on, but hey, i mean i would think i would need them? if its just the washers, it only takes me 30 min to pull my turbos, my engine bay looks almost exactly like yours ricki, pretty much the same mods and setup... anyways, i'll see, i'm taking it to my rotary mechanic, i'm tired of dealing with it!!!
