850 smoking after idle

my 850 burns oil after siting in trafic, is it the turbo? I had a mechanic clean out what he said was the pcv valve. I later learned the 850 doesnt have a pcv valve. Does anyone know what the part that needs cleaning/replacing is, or what could be the problem. Thanks, Stephen

Is this a turbo model?

Does the smoke appear when at an idle or when starting after idleing? Blue smoke after idleing and starting from a stop is a usual indication of valve seals.Having a turbo might indicate an internal seal problem.

Yes, it is a turbo and it smokes when accelerating. Thanks
