Blueish-white smoke???
My 87 Turbo was having hesitation problems over 5000rpm. I just put some fuel inj. cleaner in the tank and went for a rip. There was no hesitation at all!! On the other hand, when I let off the gas for shifts or to start slowing down, blueish-white coloured smoke makes a cloud behind my car.....one time it was in the car actually. ANy ideas on what this might be?

Oil as in, my engine oil seals? I don't know if this is related but I just tested the compression on my engine. The guy before me said it has about 4,000miles on it. Could it be my turbo going? Car seems to still be running strong.....

I would speculate on it being the turbo. I have a '90 TII and had to send out my turbo last year for rebuild/upgrade after noticing blue smoke in between shifts. I wouldn't see the smoke until I shifted into another gear and as soon as I got into the gas again I'd see 2 clouds of blue smoke behind me.
