Oil fumes out the tailpipe

Yesterday, my 88 9000 Turbo started spewing clouds of oil fumes out the tailpipe at idle. This was after a good amount of idling and stop-n-go driving. The smoke started to clear up for a bit, and then started coming out full force again. The amount of smoke expelled increased when I revved the car. Once I began driving again, it seemed to clear up.
I drove the car to a parking lot (10 minutes of freeway driving) and did the following:
- Pulled plugs. They were normal - but I checked them after about 10 minutes of driving after I noticed the fumes - so they could have been burnt clean
- Checked Compression. Dry compression was pretty even all around 165-170. Cyl #2 showed a lower-than-usual 160 or so. Wet compression gave about 25 psi more on each cylinder.
- Checked the turbo shaft. *No* play axial or radial. Spins freely.
Any ideas as to what I should be checking for here? It hasnt happened since last evening, but I want to be preventive and keep looking for potential problems before reaching a crisis.
Please help. Thanks,
Karthik
