Smoking on Right Side

[Max Hoepli]

Mechanic found out using flashlight with motor running that either gssket
from motor to oil supply pipe to turbocharger is defective and or gasket
between motor and oil supply pipe to turbocharger is defective. Just in case
I need a oil supply pipe. Anyone have such a pipe?

Yes this is a Canadian car. Right is as looking forward from driver's seat.

FWIW, "right" and "left" sides are always determined as seen by sitting in
the drivers seat looking forward. That's why to avoid confusion I always
used the terms "passenger side" or "driver side."  The only caveat with that
policy was to always make sure the audience was informed as to which side
the steering wheel was positioned!!!!!

a possibility, but then there's nothing for any leaking fluid to burn on
there. The exhaust stuff is on the other side, which I would call the left
(looking from the front bumper). It would be difficult for hydraulic fluid
to get over there. I'd expect engine oil or coolant on that side, most
likely the former. Check to see if you aren't getting a leak off the valve
cover ...
