Has anyone had their turbo replaced because of the leaky seals? I have white smoke pourring out my tail pipes and i am wondering about your experiences.

Sounds more like head gasket or valve issues. Are you sure it's turbo?
100% positive its been proven by a replacement turbo by mazda but they just dont wanna warranty it.
I started to notice the white smoke at about 14k miles. My dealership replaced the factory K04 turbo completely under warranty (there's a recall on these turbos i believe). So far i have not seen any white smoke with the new turbo.
i had it too...how long did it run before it stared doing it??? mine was at idle for 30 mins. and the turbo built up with oil..let it sit and it will correct it self
yup i brought it in covered by warranty and they replaced free of charge plus a rental
