I presume you have to force the smoke into the intake/induction system so
it comes out the leaks. That would mean having a good seal where you

I think I am on to something. With the crossover off, the insides

I have heard that completely blown turbo seals will cause smoke like
a smoke generator. I assume a leak might cause these problems,
except the oil leak. Oil leak maybe the turbo drain, as you

What is the methodology to determine if the turbo seals are leaking?
My bearing test is
There was no indication of a leaking head gasket at Christmas. If
the headgasket was bad, i'd expect to find coolant or oil leaking
around the front of the head. None there at the last checkup.

Could be a bad turbo, which will cause all the problems other than

I'll second that. Leak is probably in the front of the engine. Oil is
being blown back to where it collects and drips. I've found UV dye and
a UV LED flashlight to help in finding the source.
I've only had one leaking turbo. It was leaking into the intake. If

I have a 1984 300D with 250,000 miles. I put new pads and rotors on last
summer. While driving down the highway yesterday I noticed what felt like a

Only if the AC is working -- otherwise it's just a good deal. They
get 32-36 mpg on the highway.
Usual W124 caveats apply (in other words, it's due for tie rods, ball
joints, and drag link plus steering damper, and the rear links will
be dead soon, too.)
