I'm getting a little bit of smoke from the exhaust turbine housing on my t3 (non ball bearing) stinger center mount header setup. I am running the stinger t3 oil drain line as well and was wondering if I could get an opinion on whether I do not have the oil drain routed properly or if I am having a problem with the turbine seal. I have the line routed as shown here in the forum but it appears to still have an ever so slight dip in it. The turbo is new but of course it could be the problem.
I'll try to post a video of the smoke and a picture or two of the oil drain routing in a bit. Thanks.

alrighty ... heres a video (apologize for the low quality) of my smoke problem ... the smoke appears to be coming from the bottom of the ring that holds the center section to the turbine housing ... I also tried to get some pics of the oil drain line routing but it was hard to get some good quality ones. So what do you think? Oil drain problem or turbo seal problem?  drain line going down through header  drain line turning towards the rear of the header  connection at block  from the back of the block looking forward - here you can see a little dip in the drain line  one more shot from the front  |

To me it looks like the paint or rust protective coating on the turbo is burning off. There should be no exhaust smoke/leak in that area.
