Do you have a turbo? if so you may have bad shaft seals. If you dont have a turbo you have bigger problems. Bad rings, valve guides, cracked piston/piston skirt, ect. More info on your car would help.

Re:blueish black exhaust smoke?
what is the inside diameter of the oil drain tube, and what orientation is it in.
example. is the oil drain tube pointing down off the turbo and then directly to the oil pan w/ NO upward or horizontal directions?
if the turbo is 3mo old like u said you probably have the oil drain too small... should be 1/2" ID atleast.

Re:blueish black exhaust smoke?
the oil drain i 3/4 inch and i goes down from the turbo and then it's kinda of horizontal. the turbo is so low though i was told to put the drain hole as high as possible on the pan. Should i go with a quick bend from the turbo to the pan instead of it coming down a little? Also could it be my plugs for any reason. i just ordered some zfr7f-11 ngk's will those be alright.
