Only YOU know where it is exiting! Sounds like a hose, or something containing a petroleum product, is moving or being rubbed when turning left. Maybe a hose with a loose fitting is being dislocated by the front tires/suspension parts when the weight shifts to the right on left turns. Best I can do with this info.. MORE INFO. NEEDED!! To produce smoke, the substance would have to be getting on the exhaust manifold, if it us under the hood!

well to be honest, it happens while giving it gas at same time. so if i accelerate 9/10 it will happen, than be sluggish for about 10-15 secs. all the while during that process it makes this noise like knocking sound, so i dont give gas, i try to drive slowly till the smoke stops but its not a knock i know what that is.

Smoke while turning
Try this
, I have had this problem in the past and what I have found out is that the holes inside the head under the covers have stopped up with sludge these are your oil return holes, you can take a piece of wire and clean out these holes and it will stop. (One at the rear lower corner of each head)

sounds like you have valve guides that are worn along with worn valve stem seals that suck oil past the seals on a hard turn, a short term fix is to clean out the drain back holes as sarge said.
