The other night at like 1:30 in the morning I started my car after eating out and left it idling while I played with my friends SAFC. I walked back to find a small amount of blue smoke coming out of of the exhaust and an awful smell. I made the hour drive back to my house and every time I stopped at a light and the exhaust was blown towards my open window I could smell that same oil burning smell 
Next day I found no coolant/oil mixing; compression reads 191 190 187 190; car runs, idles, and boosts as good as ever; no overheating problems at all. Turbo is less than 5000 miles old and has no shaft play and no oil in the j-pipe/lower ic pipe when I pulled it today. Head was rebuilt, everything except for valve guides less than 2000 miles ago along with new head gasket. Haven't modified anything in a while. Didn't beat on the car at all that night.
Only thing I found is when I pulled the plugs there was oil on the threads and on top like it came from the spark plug gromets. Oil was on 3 out of 4 plugs. The electrods looked perfect. Piston tops look clean.
That's all I can think of, any more tests or checks you can think of?
