Unhappy Burning Oil, wtf?

On my TII, a couple weeks ago, when i would free rev to around 6K, plumes of blue smoke would come out of the exhaust. Earlier today, i hollowed out my cat and it would only do it if i free rev it even a little. Now, it shoots plumes of blue smoke when it is idling. It does leak oil, but the smoke is not the oil burning from the block. Does any body have any ideas?

well it could be your turbo leaking oil into the turbine housing or compressor housing

could be a few other things..

well my t2 is in pieces for the same reason. it would billow smoke at redlights. yes it could be your turbo and you hope it is. the way to tell isto take off your ic and look for oil if theres oil in the ducting then its turbo. but i have a feeling that its your oil controle rings and you need a rebuild. i have the engine out of the car and all striped down but i cant get the front pully bolt out.
pm me when you rebuild if you need any tips

welll the blue smoke can also mean that your oil rings are gone. Time to rebuild that engine. How many miles you have on the engine
