just to put my mind at ease is this just a head gasket or worse ?

car starts and revs / idles fine , there is blueish greyish smoke out the bad , gurgling can be heard in the cabin when car is revved just above where the turbo joins to the exhaust manifold there is water seeping out the seem when run , I have removed the hose to the throttle body and revved smoke the same and NO oil in the throttle body or out the hose when revved

cant complain really cars done 105 :) its a mg zt 160+ btw

John,

Your profile lists 4 cars as 2.5 litre. But I think you're asking about a 1.8T, yes?
If so, it sounds as if your turbo might need reconditioning. Ring Midland Turbo for guidance.
