I am happy to say that I finished my b230f+t about a month ago. Recently I was stopped at a light(engine fully warm) and it started to expel blue/white smoke out of the exhaust(it smoked intermittently at a few more stoplights on the drive home). No smoke comes out when I accelerate/decelerate or when I am on boost.

I pulled one of the I.C hoses and there was a bit of oil in it(I'm not sure how much is acceptable). The turbo has a bit of shaft play but no rubbing. The breather hose doesn't seem to have any oil in it. I plan to check the oil return line for clogs but doubt that it is clogged because I never park it right after hard driving.

I plan to check the breather box for clogs. Any suggestions would be much appreciated to help me figure out were this smoke is coming from.

Thanks bricksters,

Kyle
