White/Blue smoke from a Mini Diesel.
Discussion
Afternoon,
My 2004 Mini One Diesel is smoking from the exhaust once warmed up. The engine needs to of been running for at least half an hour before it does it but then it's pretty smokey. I removed a boost pipe and there is some oil residue in the pipes but they're not dripping with oil. With the boost pipe removed from the turbo and the engine running there is some exhaust gas coming out of the turbo on the cold side. Is it meant to do that?

This is what happens once it's warmed up.

The engine oil level seems fine but when looking down the back of the engine I have noticed some drops of oil that seem to of come from the join between the downpipe and exhaust system. This is what's making me think the seals on the turbo are going.
Can anyone offer any advice?
