On the way back the tower call and asked if I needed assistance because of all the smoke coming out of the exhaust. Then another aircraft radioed in a smoke warning, and then again the tower when I taxied later that day.... It finally dawned on me that I am not running to rich, but that I am burning oil (white smoke). I am far too embarrassed to taxi around the airport anymore. So I have sent off the turbo to be re-built, hope that fixes it. Taking off the turbo seemed to confirm the problem as the manifold before the turbo is white/dry while the exhaust pipe has drops of engine oil.
