Default blue smoke

Right, I had a petrol leak last month from an injector so got replace the big o-ring as had a split in. I started the car but was only running on 3 cylinders so i turned of car as car was smokin lots. blue/whiteish smoke. The next day I went to start the car and it would not turn over, I checked cambelt an that was fine so I took out a plug an ptrol came out so i Guess I had another injecter leak. Just changed the 0-rings on the injector an car started fin but got smoke again, just nit as much. After a while smoke went so took for a drive once it warmed up an noticed a bit of smoke wich cleared as I drove it. Now when I come on to boost I get blue smoke. Does this mean I need a turbo rebuild or has somthing else failed in the engine? I never saw smoke before all this happend.

The car is a 93wrx with a few mods

If I remember right, blue smoke = turbo condition?

Don't know where you could start in order to rectify though man, sorry.
Hope you get sorted without too much expense!
