pulls the plugs out and see if you have any oil deposit.
In most case you probably have a old worn out oil seal in your turbo.
Be sure you run a oil restrictor too, IIRC, for journal bearing, use 0.065" orifice restrictor.
Mine smokes too after a couple of hard run, I know its my turbo, not my engine

line to turbo i believe....it might not matter
if you didnt know blue is oil white is coolant, which could mean a leaking hg
