I still have blue smoke when driving, i suspected it mite have been the turbo but im sure its not now as it smokes when setting off with no turbo spool. It dosent smoke on idle but soon as you set off it puffs out smoke, if u give it some it smokes a fair bit and then clears. Could this be the valve stem oil seals, or some thing else, i dont know where to start, i would also say its using more oil than average aswell it didnt use any when i first got it and considering the price of oil i think its time to nip it in the bud. any help wuld be appreciated.

Have a look in the pipes between turbo and engine to see if any oil is there, if it is then most likely turbo, unless you still have the oe breather attached ?

Possibly rings?

The pipes are bone dry, and the breather system is a bailys uprated one as its at stg 3. There is also a smell of fumes in the car almost like the smell of the breather fumes, dont know if this could be linked. Im not sure if its cos there isnt a pipe from the exit away from the pot, im thinking it mite be fumes circulating under the bonnet and coming through the vents maybe

Is there a way of knowing if rings are worn without stripping it down.
