That's what I always used to think until I owned this engine....when the turbo lines plugged and the CCV system was shot on mine, so much white smoke came out the exhaust I thought for sure I blew a head gasket or cracked head. I was both relieved and shocked when it was just the turbo lines. With turbo engines, when mass quantities of oil gets injected into the intake from the turbos because of blocked lines, the smoke is white for whatever reason.
