White smoke, misfire codes, need a little help.
2009 cobalt ss
126000 mi
K04r
Injen charge pipe
Zzp intercooler
Treadstone cai
Zzp catless dow pipe
Forge atmospheric
Trifecta tuned
Well here's the situation about 2 weeks ago I swapped a new k04r turbo in to replace a worn k04. Everything has run fine until the other day. The weather here in Florida changed and I started throwing p0300, p0301, p0302, p0303, p0304 with an occasional funny smell like antiseize burning.. I was waiting on my tune driving very easy on it because it is my only means of transportation. Today on the way home from work it started smoking white. Generally between shifts and first load after shift and then going away. After getting home and installing the tune I took it for a drive and misfire codes stopped but the smoke has not disappeared. While driving I was able to hear a few pops here and there from the exhaust but no codes. Now after returning from the drive it smoking at idle also but not excessive, before it had a burning antiseize smell, now it kind of smells like oil but not the typical burning oil smell i am familiar with. Also getting idle surge anytime from setting at idle and coming out of gear into idle.
It's been one of those days so hopefully all that makes sense.
Has anyone come across all this?

Sounds good I picked up a compression tool this morning and tried to find some new ngk's around but no place has them In stock. Right now it's on autolite iridium gapped at .32 which has never had an issue before and they only have about 3k miles on them. Going to check as soon as I get home.
I started the car this morning and it idled ok but had a slightly different tone until it warmed up above 100 degrees and it started sounding pretty rough and then i shut it off. But as far as smoke it was kind of a milky white smoke with an oily smell but not in any great amount but that was at idle

Well tinkering on it now. While I was looking under the car I saw oil under the coupling of my cai at the turbo. Went back to the top to the hose connected to the intake and it was filled with oil
