    hi,
    i'm having a real big problem, when i'm driving my car i still get a lot of smake from my exhaust. It's oil say's everyone. But when i look at the engine i can see a lot of dirt on my engine. Could it be that it's the exhaust gasket?

    If the smoke is coming out of your tailpipe then I doubt it's an exhaust gasket. It could be worn oil seals on your valves or worn oil rings on your pistons. Is the smoke constant when your driving or does it just happen on startup and then go away?

    You should probably do a compression test to see what each cylinder is like.

    when i'm driving it's less, it's when i'm standing still at the stoplights or when i give it a boost

    unless you know how to work on a turbo take it to a specialist.
