I have an SR20 Swap on my 240 and the last couple of weeks I noticed that SOMETIMES when I am at a light a cloud huge cloud of blue smoke will start to come out of the exhaust, however when I put it in gear and put a lod on the motor the oil burning immideately stops. . I have a catch can installed on the intake side and that has been drained, I took the Front mount intercooler to see if there was oil in there but there was none just a slight coat of oil on the hot side of the intercooler and a thick coat of oil HOT pipe of the intercooler that I claned off. Even after all that it still does it. I have been monitoring my oil for 4 days and it seems to not be loosing very much if any. Any one know what it could be? Piston Ring(s)? Valve Seal? Head Gasket? Bad Turbo? (Boost gauge still shows the turbo to be boosting normally.)
