White is more moisture related. When the valve stems where fooked on the skip it was visibly blue. I'd do a compression test.... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Further info. No oil in water, no oil in plenum that I can feel.

oil is much thinner when hot and can seep through smaller gaps

I would think turbo or valve guides, would give you blue smoke. Main Build

I've seen this before from a knackered servo allowing brake fluid to be drawn into the inlet. Not saying that is your issue but worth a quick check |

When my turbo went, it was pure white smoke, 1min. After start up, smoke on idle, once driving it was fine, boosted fine etc

Brett - looks a lot like that but not quite so bad! Would turbo seals give me that intermittent smoking? Wouldn't it leave residue in plenum? Sorry for all the q's guys, I'm new to turbo minis. Thanks for your help. not in the plenum, this is oil straight into a hot exhaust, exhaust gas turbine oil seal is the one im thinking, and the one in my pic was at a rate of about 10l per hour....

If you want to check the turbo hot side oil seals, take the down pipe of and have a feel in that and the turbo for oil. There will be dark oily residue if oil is passing the seals. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

problem seems to have diagnosed itself by dramatically weeing itself half way home. no water, looks like it might be blowing out between the head and block? making a lot of blowing noises.

Couple of hrs tops, nice easy fix, but you need to find the cause of the blown gasket, what was it torqued down too? Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs
