UGH, 50K and Oil Smoke :-(

So I just turned over 50K this week, I haven't needed to do much maintenance just 5-6 oil changes, plugs at about 20K, cooler T stat etc.  It was about 95 degrees today so I was idling with the AC on waiting for my 8th grader getting outta school.  He gets in and mentions that QuickSilver is smoking out the exhaust.  I get out and look and sure enough, he's right. Nice and white/blue and puffy.  Heading out now and it's really bad, not James Bond smokescreen but visible at 30MPH. It clears up in a half mile or so but 3 miles later and home now, I pop the hood to have a look.  Wisps of smoke are coming off of the front turbo and there is actual shiny oil on the lowest turbo stud >:(   I've blown oil seals on my old 80's Chrysler turbo's(and the Buick six for that matter :-[) but the E Sport is my daily driver.  So how long is the warranty on 'Emissions Componants' anyway? Other ideas?

With any luck, you'll get TWO new turbos, AJ!  Also, would advise halving the OC interval, unless your drive is all highway.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
