Why is there smoke coming out of my Audi A4?

Hi, i recently bought a used 2001 audi a4 1.8T and i've noticed smoke coming out of my hood so i opened my hood and i see smoke coming under my engine near my turbo, and i see some oil leaks onto my turbo and around there. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and what i should do to fix my car?Why is there smoke coming out of my Audi A4?It is likely that the seals in the turbo are shot and that oil is being burnt in the exhaust housing. The smoke is likely leaking out the wastegate opening where it connects to the actuator.



The other potential problem could be oil spilt on the turbo burning off.



With a car of that age it is likely though that the turbo is shot.Why is there smoke coming out of my Audi A4?You have been visited by the turbo lady. Time to take it to a trusted mechanic.Why is there smoke coming out of my Audi A4?Valve cover gasket and the seal that sits under the cam timing adjuster leak oil onto the exhaust all the time.
