My son bought an 04 linear 2.0t.48 hrs. after the purchase ,plumes of white smoke were couming out of the exhaust.After removing the intake hose to the turbo and feeling the impellers I noticed a lot of play.I removed the turbocharger unit and replaced it with a new unit. pre lubed it,as instructed.Added a quart of oilbecause when the car was parked it was down that much.This problem occured literally a couple hundred yards from the house.I started the car and immediately the smoke started again.At first I was thinking it was residual oil in the exhaust but after starting and idling the car twice more for a few seconds I did an oil check and its down a quart of oil again.Antifreeze seems fine and no gassy odor in it and there is no coolant in the sump.Could this be the infamous pcv system on this or am I looking at a head gasket?
