1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2020

I have had this car for three years and have had so many issues with it that I could've paid it off by now if I wasn't constantly fixing it. I have replaced the turbo intercooler because it froze last winter and the check engine light came on. I was told by the dealership it was safe to drive until the part came in but it couldn't go over 10mph so it was unusable to me. I have also replaced the entire turbo once when it blew up from an oil leak that I was unaware of as I am not very knowledgeable with vehicles. Now we had to replace another part on the turbo because it was leaking oil again and the mechanic said we couldn't replace the whole turbo right away as we had to try small fixes first to be covered under the warranty. Replacing this part did help and there is still oil leaking from the oil cap and the smell makes driving the vehicle unbearable especially with a four year old. When we were stopped at a stop light we noticed that there was dark smoke and fumes coming out of the vents so we immediately went home. However, no the check engine light is on and the code says it's the catalytic converter so I am going to have to stick more money into the vehicle. I have had so many issues with this vehicle and it's not even that old.
