Speed3 Smoking
 
My '08 Speed3 smokes if I allow it to idle for awhile. Smoke is not of an oil smell and is white. Clears when I drive off.

Any thoughts on this?

bet it's a sweet smell = antifreeze. Probably starting with a head gasket leak which is pulling in antifreeze. Check the fluid levels, that'll tell you what's being burned off for sure.

Your turbo is shot. Mazda has a TSB and warranty extension for this problem.
