Default Blue smoke at idle?

Just a few days ago my car start smoking a blue/white color. I did a compression check and the compression test resulted 220 across the board wet and dry. It only smokes after I have been driving, and let the car idle down. It smoke for 2mins or so and stops. I think it is my oil return line because it does not come striaght down to the oil pan it has a slight bend. If i keep my oil return like this will it eventually blow my turbo seals. I am not burning oil but, I do smell oil when it smokes from the exhaust. Thanks

well generally blue is a automatic sign of of oil being burnt up some place . . . . so check any place for oil leaks etc . . .

I did check for oil leaks. I did not see any at all. My seals could have already blown out. It shouldn't have it is a brand new sc61

Definately keep an eye on that oil return. Same **** happened to my setup and then I went out one night driving and noticed I was leaving some nice smoke trails behind me... I changed the oil return line but by that time it was too late. the turbo seals were shot.
