Default Blue smoke....?

I'm getting little puffs of gray/blue smoke. It only happens when I let off the throttle in gear, then get on it again (it's at this time it'll puff for a second). Not during normal acceleration etc. Any thoughts? I'd hope it wasn't the valve seals, as a relatively new JG built head was just put on to correct the same situation with a 130k+ mileage head.

If it was rings wouldn't it smoke under acceleration as well?

Oh yea, car is B18c1, Drag gen 3 with t3/t04e ,9:1 JE pistons, Eagle Rods, JG Head.

Help appreciated

let off gas in gear = high vaccum = pulling oil from places. Suspect rings/valve seals/turbo seals.

I have small amounts of oil creep out my tailpipe every once in a while, but small amounts like what you have aren't serious.

It's when you have clouds of billowing blue smoke that's a problem.
