blue smoke at idle
ok lately i've been noticel blue smoke while the car idle but it only happens sometimes after it idle for a while...
One of my buddy said it might be my oil return line which is about 2 feet long and tapped into the front of the oil pan which is causing my seals of my turbo to let oil through at idle...

you will notice the white smoke when it is coler, especially when you are closer to stoic burn because the byproducts of a good burn is water. It is just water vapour you are seeing, unless you are getting oil in your coolant/boiling over coolant into the overflow I woudlnt be too worried.

yes i do have a stainless exhasut and i can clearly see water particle around the tip of the ehxuast

It's just condensation that collects inside your exhaust then. When you turn the car on it blows it out as it heats up. Basically just steam then. happens to all stainless exhausts when it gets cold.

how high up is your tap? usually when you have backup like you mentioned in the line i noticed it smokes after you are driving and coming to a stop. But i guess it could be doing it at idle too if your tap isnt too high.
