as above. my t3 smokes a we bit from cold, this aint the problem.
my problem is, from time 2 time the car plooms a gray/white smoke out the exsorst pipe when in staitionary position. can do this once or twice then just stops. the smoke smells of fule and posible water vapore. the car is not using water and the water temp neve gets hotter than 82* so dont think it is the gasket. replaced tps and phase sensors
any 1 got any advice fore me please
thanks lads

White smoke can be oil on the turbo side, so is it using any oil?

Blue smoke is an indication that it's getting into the combustion chamber(s) and getting burnt. A little oil use is perfectly normal, when new Ford stated that 1L to 600 miles as the usage, as your handbook will concur
