E250d Engine smoke

Hi there,

I went to see an e220d I wanted to purchase but there’s smoke coming from the left side of the engine bay.

Anyone can point in the direction of what it could be?

ive tried to upload a video.

thanks

Looks like the right side of the engine bay which would be the exhaust side. Could be exhaust fumes coming from a leak (not sure how audible that should be) or from something getting burnt on the exhaust manifold.

The owner seems to think a turbo boost pipe could be loose. I’m unsure on why we’d see smoke though, id assume you’d feel a loss of power if that was the case. Any ideas ?

Unfortunately I have no experience with this, but I would not expect (so much) smoke in the boost side. Hopefully someone can give you some more tips as what this could be.
