20vt blue cloud of smoke on startup

[t44tq at mindspring.com]

Mihnea-
I experienced the same thing after coming back from
the Glen and while I was there. Big cloud of blue smoke
on startup, went away immediately afterwards.

Continued to do so until I got home from the Glen and
stopped after one drive. I believe I had a lot of oil
in the intake system after running hard.

I plan on installing a catchcan air/oil separator by next
summer.

Subject line says it all, since yesterday I have a
huge blue cloud behind the car on start-up, but
nothing more afterwards, even when pulling hard. I
know the intake plumbing is not perfectly tight and
leak-less but at least it's not enough for the ECU to
run in limp home mode. Could this be the cause? Could
it be the turbo? I'll check tonight when I get home
for any shaft play, before installing the engine this
summer it had virtually no play!

Thanks for any valuable input,


Mihnea
