I noticed my T-180 blowing white smoke a few days ago, I thought it was leaking coolant, but that wasn't the case. The I noticed that there was a lot of engine oil (tasted & smelled it) near the fan vents. After some googling, I thought it might be leaking from cylinder head, so I remove that, but the head and the gasket seem fine. The engine itself is full of coolant, and I'm seeing a bunch of goop near the turbo lines, but nothing to indicate that the turbo hose itself is leaking. It's got 1580hrs; I just did an oil/filter change @1560 hrs, and I also just fill it with some older diesel (seemed clean though). No sign of overheating Any ideas where the leak is from, and how do I remove the coolant in the engine?
 
The fuel in the oil would lead me to suspect the injector pump or lift pump leaking into the engine block.
As for coolant, sadly I'd think head or head gasket, there is a possibility it's even a crack between the water jacket and the oily areas of the motor.
