Blue smoke indicates that your engine is burning oil and at for your leak. Might want to perform a complete engine cleaning with a steam cleaner and determine where the oil leak is coming from.
Your issue could be a few things. Simplest first would be the PVC valve. Other issue would be valve seals, valve guides or piton rings. The blue smoke is from your vehicle burning oil
It's very simply to find out if the turbocharger is causing blue smoke from the exhaust vs a blown head gasket. So, remove the turbocharger's compressor inlet centre hose (from the aluminium side of the turbo). Then see if there's in plenty of oil coming out from the hose and from the turbo. I'm 100% convinced that the turbocharger is damaged in your case. You can remove also the exhaust pipe out from the turbocharger, and see if there's a lot of oil coming out. Repair or replace bad turbocharger with a new one (or with a second hand in good condition one). Good Luck!
White smoke is usually coolant, oil is usually a blue color, most turbos r cooled by coolant so U may have a coolant leak in the turbo, may B a seal or crack in the turbo. Check your coolant level occasionally to C if it drops.
more than likelt its the turbo mate leaking from the exhaust side is there oil in the exhaust if so there is your problem if not take the 2" rubber pipe off from the turbo to the charge pipe and gently rev the bus you are looking for any wet oil coming out under load
IS the smoking extremly heavy ? Extreme heavy smoke where you cant see behind the car would indicate turbo. If this is the case no engine damage should have occured. The turbo on these cars are oil and water cooled, The heavy smoke indicates a worn seal in the turbocharger is leaking oil directly into the exhaust system and burning there. Catylitic and oxygen sensor damage may occur but engine damage is unlikely.
normally blue smoke is burning oil and if this is the case you may have a valve stem oil seal which is leaking these prevent oil getting into the top of the bore via the valves. if it does you grt the oil burning on start up givivg blue smoke and to fix these you may have to remove the cylinder hesd i work on lorries and classic cars and some you can get away with leaving the head on but have never worked on a bmw
