Need Help T-Shooting...

I just had some work done on the Ty because the oil retreival line from the turbo was leaking badly. Since then it runs much better and I don't have check engine light ever come on but it now smokes when up to running temp when I let out of the gas. I don't have a clue what would cause it to smoke when I let out of the gas and stop smoking if I'm in the gas even slightly. I know it's burning oil by the smell so I'm thinking maybe a piston ring problem or something.

So it doesn't smoke when I first turn it over, it only starts smoking once I'm up to temp. Also It doesn't smoke when I'm in the throttle. If I'm rolling along and let out of the throttle it starts smoking and stops as soon as I'm in the throttle again. Also when I stop it will smoke for a bit then stop or at least it doesn't smoke nearly as much when I'm idling.

Does anyone have any idea's as to what could be causing this?

My intial thought is the oil sela laking in the turbo. Especially if you had a bad leak before it may have contributed to this.

Thanks for that. I hadn't even thought of it. I was really concerned because the motor only has 40k on it but I don't think the turbo has been replaced.
