my escort decided to start smoking , it puffs blue smoke when am changing gear when giving it some ... took my boost pipes of yesterday to check for play in the turbo it has a litle side to side but no in or out , also noticed that my pipes had loads of oil in them so traced it all the way back to the throtle body ( which also had oil in it ) , so i cleaned them all out , then this morning i drove it about 7 miles came back ome and the pipes were full of oil agen ( even had a puddle of it in the bottom of my charge pipe) ... any1 know what my problem is ? cheers

Turbo oil seal mate, or your engine is breathing loads of oil into the metering unit.

you can get kits but id say its a pro job,you dont really want to start messing with turbos,probably end up costing more if you mess up
