Default water probs fixed now new problem blue smoke lol help

right sorted the cooling probs out with the rst now today

when on boost it smokes like hell now leaving a nice blue cloud behind until i let off the throttle, it does it even when cruising at 5psi lol

ive just done a compression check and the readings i got were number 1 is 115 and all the others are 120 so its not rings or is it?

this is my problem could it be either

breather system blocked
turbo
or is it the rings even though compression ok

it doesnt smoke on tickover, nor from cold start
just on boost

the oil cap is lifting slightly aswell so this to me indiactes breather or rings

its on standard breather so would it be wise to upgrae this

im going to modify it in a minute so it acts like a cossie breather, no vacumn ant recirculating

there is large amounts of oil in the crossover pipe

the only thing i can bring it down to is the oil is being draged through the turbo and blowing out exhaust from breather system/

any help or ideas would much be appriciated

thanks rich

if compression is ok then my money would be turbo seals,but if you have
had over heating problems then its possible you have cooked a ring.

How recent did you do the compression test?
