If its white its usually water eg head gasket but it could be cause its cold or moisture in the exhaust, blue is normally oil which could mean the turbo(more than likely this). Black is fuel normally when overfueling see alot of diesel turbo throwing this out. Sound alot of money for a rings and piston to be fitted, I would have thought you could get forged and fitted for that. I would get a compresion test done before going any further but my money is with the turbo.

Check for oil in the breather system, its a common problem that when you fit a decat an exhaust to a facelift (cat'd car) that they start breathing heavy and throwing oil back in to the inlet.

....a simple catch can breather system could fix this....

Does it have a lambda (o2) sensor in the dump pipe?

Also, dont rule out the turbo, they can smoke on boost an not on idle in there early stages of failure (dependant on which seal has gone)

Further investigation is necessary as it does look like
oil into the system somewhere?

A simple compression test as Rhys mentioned will clear
that one up for you.

That would also let you know what the other cylinders are like?
As in there fine but compression is down.

Does it seem to be driving Lumpy or Sluggish as i doesn't
sound like it?

Remove an intercooler pipe and see if there is much oil in it - if there is its just breathing heavily - a breather system will fix it smile

It's pretty easy to spot a lambda sensor usually, just have a look. If in doubt, check SXOC or similar to search for a reference picture/description of where it would be located.

Its on the pipe that comes out of the back of the turbo - its an electrical plug - approx 2" long, really easy to spot smile
