Default smokey rst

i have posted in the other forum but got little back in way of suggestions. on start up, after about 5 mins I stated to get blue smoke. this would clear and once driven the smoke would vanish completely, no smoke on over run ect ect. anyway, having changed stem seals the problem persisted. I cleaned out the breather and pipes. I had to use a join were to pipes were different sizes and sure enough the join was lathered in shit so im hoping this has cured it. but now paranoia has set in and im not sure wether its just more condensation (colder ambient temp) or white smoke!! it evaporates but it defintly has an oily wiff albeit not strong. could this just be remnets in the system as a result of the partially blocked breather? runs and starts spot on but its an annoying niggle. turbo is 1 yr old from new. doesn't use oil or water

I'd stop thinking about it and use it as much as you can. If there is an issue it will show its uglyness soon enough.
