Default Turbo B18C1 with Blue Smoke out the tailpipe

Can someone help me with my problem?

I have a Turbo GSR Setup in my civic.
I started to have a lot of smoke coming out of my exhaust (which shows oil burning)
But my oil level never dropped, but my coolant has. The smoke coming out of my exhaust is blue and not white. thats why im not thinking its a head gasket problem.

Awhile back I had a faulty injector in clylinder 3, it was leaking. I was thinking that may have caused my rings in that cylinder to go out.

Yesterday I pulled all 4 spark plugs out to look in the combustion chamber, and all 4 are covered in oil. I was thinking that my rings may have gone out or maybe my valve seals have gone bad. but is it likely that all 4 would have oil with this problem happening?

With this question it also made me think the turbo could be the cause, and there may be a leak somewhere. I will pull off my charge pipe today to check to see if i have oil in them.


Please who ever can give me some advice I will appreciate it.

THANKS

headlift?

but if the heagasket is blown wouldnt that cause white smoke and not blue smoke to come out the tailipipe?
cause all cylinders have oil in them

i dont think its the headgasket though.

THANKS for ur insight though

No. If there was a headlift, there would also be white smoke coming out, because if the head lifts that means coolant get's into the water jacket's, which causes the white smoke.

To the creator, It could be your ring's. Not a 100% sure though. Let us no the situation after you pull the charge pipe off.

I pulled off my charge pipe and its clean, no oil residue anywhere.

so now im back into the question of rings or valve seals?
but i did a compression check and my results came out to 210-215-210-210 which is pretty good and it holds there until i release it

but if the compression is good, then the rings or seals shouldnt be leaking right?

im still confused

THANKS for your help guys


BTW what is headlift? does the head actually lift from the block?
THANKS again

You can pop the manifold off and see if it's valve stem seals. I would do a leak down test though.
