oil landing on the headers, likely the cam cover seals.

If the turbo was recent it would more than likely be oil collected in your header covers, it can smoke and stink for a week or more. mine used to pour out of the bonnet scoop when I'd pull up, got some funny looks haha.

Ok, I'll spell it out for you, if you are running standard headers they will have covers on them similar to the ones in the photo, if your turbo was leaking oil or when it was removed it may have dripped/collected oil in these covers and when it gets hot it starts to smoke/burn, I've had it happen a couple of times.

most likely causes are leaking rocker cover gasket or split CV boot
could be anything really just take it to someone to have a look at it
