Blue smoke issue

Always a pleasure!
From your other thread this is only at idle isn't it? Once you accelerate and under load (boost) there is no smoke? What about from cold start, is still the same just at idle and not at other times?

UPdate!!!!!! I took it for a good 20 mile run and once I got back it seems to have almost stopped,could it be that the run has cleared the crap out?i guess I will know in the morning once I fire it up!!!!

If there are no traces of oil in the intakes hoses and your breather system is not blocked, it could be rings (it should smoke from cold though too), might be worth doing a compression test.

Ok,went to start car this morning,no smoke on start up.After about 5 mins it started to smoke.i did change the standard breather setup to a bailey breather 3 weeks ago thinking that this may help but it didn't much.tommorow I will do a compression test as Karl suggested but I am also thinking it could be the turbo?i put the car back on the road late last year after it being stood for over 4 years.

Maybe you have an oil leak, if oil is getting onto the exhaust it will only burn off once it's hot and not from cold.... as you drive along the smoke still comes out the back of the car (from underneath) but it can easily look like it's from the exhaust.
