Default Smoke at Idle

This question has proably been asked berfore.
I have a 1999 S70 AWD Turbo.
When I sit at Idle for a period of time, say 5 minutes,
I start to get alot of blueish smoke coming from the tail pipe.
It disappears when I resume driving.

There is no wet oil at the tali pipe or on bumber or undercarriage.
Turbo seems to work fine.

Iam thinkng (Or hoping) maybe the turbo oil return line is clogged.
Could it be something that simple or am I looking at needing
a turbo replacement.

Ted

Hello Ted,

PCV system hoses, vacuum elbows, etc...

Be sure to keep an eye on the oil level, as these engines are extremely sensitive to low oil.

I hope this helps.
