turbo burning antifreeze?
i have a mostly stock 22rte and have always felt that after driving and popping the hood that i smelt something, but no one else EVER smelt anything so i figured it was probably just me being overly cautious
but today i popped the hood and took a look at the turbo and saw a slight wift of white smoke, almost unnoticeable but was pretty constant... it was coming from the flange going from the radiator to the turbo
is this normal? should i be concerned at all?
also looked at the oil and not 100% sure but it looked like the oil was sitting at the bottom line of the SAFE area, i just did the oil change about 500-600 miles ago and used mobil 1 high mileage, put in 5qts

NO! Do not spend money on that POS CT20!
Get a CT26 off a 7MGTE and put it on.
It might lag a bit more but that is a way better Turbo.
