I like my Cuban cigars, but this is more smoke than I can take!! 700

Bought the car (B230FT/M46, 272k miles) a few months ago and the engine smoked enormous amounts, mostly at lower revs. Trying to figure out what it was, I removed all hoses between airbox and turbo and intercooler and turbo, they were oil filled and so was the airbox. Cleaning this out helped a lot. The engine has just had a major service with spark plugs, HT leads, oil, oilfilter, dizzy cap, rotor and belts. Now the engine does not smoke at cold start up but does smoke when getting hotter. The exhausts do smell badly and sometimes there is a little bit of fuel on the ground by the exhaust end. The smoke is greyish or white, neither black nor blue and increases with revs.
