I started my car today after turning it off maybe 10min prior and it had a rough idle. It sounded like it was runnin off 3 cylinders and THICK smoke coming from the exhaust tht smell like RICH fuel. I immediately left the parking lot i was in and it acted funny accelerating about 20ft then started acting normal again. I gave it a bit more throttle to inch out of the parking lot and the smoke cloud came again and rough idle. I drove the car a few more feet and it started acting normal again, and then repeated the process until i came to a stoplight. As i left the stoplight the problem seemed to VANISH, and i could build boost and sounded fine, no issues at all. I Got home and popped the hood and smelled burnt oil, and noticed oil leaking from the gasket where the wastegate bolts to the manifold.. I checked my oil and it wasnt low. Started the car up a few more times and reved it and the problem was gone.. Any ideas??
