Default New motor! TOOO000o much smokey!

Well i just got my built A6 back together and started to tune it, but now a problem has come up once agian. The car is smoking bad. Well probably not that bad, but i don't want to continue to tune the car with it smoking like this. At start up the car does not smoke at all. I can let the car set there and idle for 20 to 30 minutes and there will be not one sign of smoke. Sometimes when i back out of the drive way it will release a cloud of smoke, this has happened maybe two times. I really started to notice the smoking while out tuning the car. I can be in third gear just cruising and smell oil really bad, but see no smoke. Then as soon as i come to a stop a smoke cloud will pass the car. Once i started to tune the higher rpm's and i was in boost most of the time i noticed a cloud of smoke behind me. Just about everytime im in boost the car smokes like hell. Im not sure if this is a turbo seal problem or a valve seal problem. The valve seals are new and the turbo i bought about 7 months ago from blaast. There is oil leaking from the bottom of the turbo. The drain line on the turbo is good no kinks and is angled strait down to the oil pan. The drain inlet is above oil level. Also my oil line is a 3an line, so i shouldn't need a oil restrictor. Atleast i have never ran one and ive not had a problem until now. I took some pics of the valves which have a little bit of oil on them. What do you guys think? Turbo seals or vavle seals?

Get a rebuild kit for the turbo. The seals are more than likely what went bad.
