Default what causes this????

setup: turbo d16, low comp. pistons.... the works

anyways my question is: when i start my car, its all good, then after i let it sit there an idle for it minute it starts billowing out blue smoke (oil)... but then i will go drive it down the road and it and goes away....

I'm not a turbo specialist but check the turbo's oil seals.

I will get a seal kit coming... cause i actually already have 2 catch cans and i just put new hoses on them and cleaned the cans like a week ago and its still doin it, so apparently i must have some bad turbo seals. thanks
