I'm making a bit of blue smoke on startup and suspect that the turbocharger may be on its way out. It is very difficult to see what is actually down there and I don't want to take her off the road to find out what the turbocharger is. We are 2001 B205E and I suspect its the standard GT1752 but is there any way of confirming this without excavation?

A 205E will be a GT1752.

How many miles has it done and what PCV kit does it have fitted? Some of the kits can lead to a build up of oil residue that is burnt off on start up with the same symptoms as turbo seal wear
