Leaking transfer case and lots of smoke

Took my car in for an oil change,test pipe/CAI still in place. Thought it was taking awhile, and the service guy finally tells me that my transfer case is leaking, but not where the TSB says it should be (apparently the TSB was spawned by problems in the CX-7), so he had to order parts and sent me on my way. So far, no problem, the tech was cool about my mods as they didn't impact the existing problem.

Later that night, I'm sitting idling in a drive-thru and I realize I am just smokin' the joint out! It quit immediately when I came off idle, but I'm thinking it's time to go back to stock for the winter and let Mazda fix whatever (turbo seals, maybe?) that problem happens to be. I know I've seen this described on the site, so I'll be searching. Feel free to point me in the right direction.
 
if u trust your dealership have them do the work.. be cautious though many dealers suck ass.. you can also contact ken at www.protegegarage.com they rebuild our stock turbos for a really good price, if u feel comfortable doing the work that is... and there are a few threads on how to do it. good luck
 
there is a TSB out for it, so i would just change it back to stock, take it in to the dealer, have them replace the turbo and seals. if that doesnt solve the problem, then investigate other options. i wouldn't jump right to having someone else eff with it...
