So about a month ago my son's 15 turbo started spewing sweet smelling white smoke coupled with a cooling system that wouldn't hold pressure. Checked for exhaust gasses in the coolant and came back clean. Eventually diagnosed failed turbo which was confirmed when I pulled the old one off. Got the new OEM Borg warner installed and car started up fine then popped an oil leak at the oil cooler. Replaced that, which was a tremendous pain in the ass, and now I have the sweet smell of white smoke once again. This time only after the car warms up and north of about 3500rpm. No codes on the obd. I did get some misfire action north of 3500 but it never tripped an engine light, just a pending multi cylinder misfire code.

I'm going to check the exhaust gas in the coolant again but this thing has me a bit confused. I had to pull the valve cover for clearance to get the turbo out and that required pulling the cam phaser valve so I'm wondering if I screwed something up in that process. Only thinking cam phasers since the problem seems rpm dependent.

Any of you Hyundai experts have any suggestions on where to start?

Working to get the turbo out of this damn car and pulled the valve cover to get it out the top. That at least allows for some cam inspection and this looks like too much slack. Thoughts?
