The ONLY time I have ever been able to seal this bolt 100%, even with new 'O' rings, is to use a light film of Loctite 574 Flange Sealant on both sides of the washer.

I would change the filters as a precaution.

Fuel starvation will often produce white smoke. If you are down on power and not getting abnormal smoke, perhaps check to see the turbo is working...
