PCV Valve Trouble or Blown Turbo Gasket?

[spiffyone571]

2008.5 Mazdaspeed 3 / Milage 30,000 / I've had light blue whitish smoke coming from my turbo for a while now, only when it idles. I've ready many threads stating its the PCV valve or its Blown turbo gaskets. I dont want to go out and get an oil catch can to fix the PCV valve problem if i need to get the turbo worked on and visa versa. Did anyone else have this problem and find an ultimate solution?

I would start by trying the fix in the third link of Hanks post

Just a little smoke isn't the turbo seals. If you have a seal problem, you'll know it.

Depends when the Down pipe is on it pours out, but when it uses sotck DP i think the Caty blocks most of it.

Thanks Hank! So I'm assuming you have the same problem?

Can you elaborate, please? I got plenty of white smoke and the pcv fix from ptp did nothing.

If it's the seal problem it will look like you've got a bad bonfire going with the amount of smoke that occurs. Small wisps are most likely moisture/oil residues burning off.
