Try pulling your downpipe and check the color of the turbine. Brown/tan is normal, an off white is indicative of oil burning from the turbine seals.

Resurrecting my old post. Those of you who were behind me a DGRR this year were treated to the smoke screen. I finally got around to pulling the DP and taking a look at the turbine wheel...

Here's some pictures, I'm thinking shot turbine seals now, what do you guys think? Definitely white/off-white color deposits.
