Question smoke from exshaust

car started to blow some smoke out the exshaust when sat at a rest and then rev'd I'E ya stop at traffic lights and they go green and ya pull away .dont seem too do it when started from cold yet .

its only been rebuilt for approx 10 thousand miles .and that was 3500£
pulled the intercooler off and no oil in there

am a bit worried now .oil changed every 5 thousand miles .and its in the past week done a litre of oil .

was bulit by a known place so not as if it should of been a dodgy job

Not sure TBH. i guess a leak down test would prove the rings are ok...

But if it's doing it when it's hot then it would be my first guess...

Mine has done the same thing a couple of times, have you checked the oil level and water coolant level?
This may not be related but as have been said, could be turbo seals passing a drop of oil, keep an eye on it.
