The way I understand it is as follows, SAABers please correct me if I am wrong.
Blue smoke : Oil is being combusted along with fuel and air.
Two ways this can happen. Leak in the turbo which causes oil from bearing shaft into the compressor which lands up in the engine. Other way oil can land up in combustion chamber is through worn piston rings or some such thing in the cylinders. ??(not too knowledgeable about that)
White smoke : Leak in turbo causing oil from shaft into exhaust turbine to the exhaust. Since this oil doesn't actually combust but just sort of "heats up" due to exhaust gas temperature one sees white vapors of the oil.
