    So this morning when I parked my car at work I was getting out and noticed some smoke coming out of my hood scoop. So I opend my hood to see what was going on and notice that I had smoke not a lot but noticable coming out from the turbo area. It didn't smell bad like something was really burning but smoked for a min then stop. I have a 02 wrx with 80k on it not really sure what's goind on but any help would be awsome. Thanks chris

    Done anything recently to the car? I'd check the oil and coolant lines connecting to the turbo for sure, specificly the point where they connect. With the topsy turvy temperatures out there right now, there's a chance the rubber hoses could be loose, it happens alot at colder temps for sure. I know when the temp dips below 40, I sometimes have to give my hoseclamps a quarter turn or more to make sure I'm not leaking anything.
