200q20v Blue Smoke Startup

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    I had to use the 200q20v again today and when I started it up there was
a noticeable cloud of blue smoke behind the car.  I didn't notice this
yesterday, but I've noted it before when someone else was driving.  The blue
smoke disappears after a minute of warming up and all is fine.  Plenty of
oil pressure according to the gauge.  Plenty of oil in the engine.  When
driving the car the engine feels fit and full of vigor, though that whole
turbo lag junk really stinks.  Boost display read 1.7 when I push the car
hard, once it read 1.8.  Now is this blue smoke most likely seals, rings, or
turbo issues?  The car has 195k miles, almost all of that is very tame
highway driving, mum's foot isn't too heavy.

TIA,
