trying to get my car to stop smoking during idle

[Beanokid69]

So my car likes to spit out white/blue smoke (oil) but only sometimes and only after it has been idling...after i start driving it it will stop smoking immediatly. So it has to be either turbo seals or valve seals. Is there a test that I can do to find out which is the culprit?

I was wondering if anybody knew of a thread that explains how to replace turbo seals, I have already seen the 16g rebuild page and that didnt really help me. I am looking for a seal replacement specific page.

One more thing.....I heard that it is possible to replace valve seals without removing the head....where can I find this thread also, Iv searched and found only people saying they have heard its possible.

Thanks,
Ricky

i believe that a leakdown test would be able to tell you if your valve seals are leaking

check your valve guide seals
