Default Blown Turbo? oil leak? or coolant leak?

Hey all,

Havn't posted in a while as ive been out with my dad on his farm, (no internet), but had my car washed today at a bikini car wash, as i was leaving i put my foot down a little and basicly since then i have had smoke coming out of the bonnet scoop.

Can't put a word to the smell, as i don't know what exactly it could be, but when i popped the bonet i was coming from behind the turbo/near the turbo and the smoke was greyish/white...

Just wondering if the most likely possibility is the turbo has blown or could it possibly be coolant/oil leak somewhere around that area?

Need to know asap as i'm back in perth and need my car to go from work and back home.

Any help will be much appreciated..

OH, and i run a 1997 MY98 GC8 WRX running 16 PSI of boost with a FMIC, 3" TBE, Pod filter and a Profec B boost controller...

Thanks, Clarkie
