Hey guys

my car is smoking yet it only does it when the car is fully warmed up, and only after a revv about 2 seconds after letting off throttle. My car showed a 150 across the board on the compression test and i am rather stumped on the matter. Its not a significant oil leak either its only like a 1/4 of a quart every 1000 miles. Any input? :laser:
 
yea the compression was solid and i've checked the pvc valve and its clean and only opens one way but i may replace it for shits n giggles to see if that is the problem, also the turbo seems to be in good shape with little to no shaft play and there is very little oil in my intercooler piping, and at idle the smoke doesnt' come out but anytime there is an increase in oil pressure it seems that the smoke comes out

later on

If it's blowing blue smoke only when reving after idling/deceleration, you can be 90% sure it's your valve seals.

If it blows blue smoke when you're boosting no matter what, the PCV valve and/or your turbo could be suspect.
