Default Smoking on idle

Problem: When idleing for a period of time or after a good drive my car will idle blowing smoke out the tailpipe. It also seems to burn quite a bit of oil. Smoking dipstick.
I though the solution would be to replace the pcv system and clean the ptc. I did this all yesterday and also cleaned all the piping from the intercooler and the airbox and turbo.

I dont know what else could be causing this.
Any ideas?

Also the green lamba sign is now illuminated. I dont understand lol.

Please help
