Blue smoke - like oil? My V-6 Saab started doing the same thing at 46,000 miles. I removed the rubber hose that connects to the intake manifold at the throttle body. This is the intake air from the turbo. When I got the hose off, I could see lots of motor oil in the manifold and hose. It turned out my Turbocharger was leaking on the intake side and the oil was being sucked in through the intake manifold. The best part is coming! All covered by the WARRANTY! Yahoo.
I don't understand these turbo failures as I used to own a 1982 Saab 900T that had a turbo with no water jacket. It lasted 50,000 miles. These new ones are water-cooler (at least mine V6 turbo is) and it failed at 46,000 miles? I'd like to add a pre and post luber to the turbo but they are expensive unless you build your own.
