I think I have a wee problem!

Came home the other day, cruising the last mile, and arrived at the house in clouds of smoke from the exhaust.

Just tried the car this morning, starting it up and letting it idle till warm, the same smoke appeared.

Took it out and the wife said she could see the dreaded blue smoke for about 3rd mile.

I then trashed the ***** off it, and no smoke, came back home, let the car idle, no smoke.

What the ****'s going on?

Car seems to run OK, no strange noises from the engine.

Rings?
Turbo?

Eeeek!

Your help would be much appreciated.

Question

Has the car been serviced recently?
Check to see if the oil is at the right level in the engine (also please state which model scoob you have )
