Its likely oil leaking passed the turbine seal. Could be caused by return line issues, but can also be a seal failure. Check for shaft play....though, I had a smoking problem and it was a while before shaft play became noticable.

Might also be your valve seals are leaky. Does it blow any smoke out on start up from a cold start?
