I agree with J2speedandcustom in that putting some heat and some boost through them will probably clear up the smoking issue as long as youre not throwing too much oil at the seals and overwhelming them.

I guess the seals get a little dry, shrink, or whatever and require some heat/flogging to bring them around. Scared the pewpy outta me the first time it happened since I saw $$$ for a turbo rebuild coming out of the exh but it cleared up after some driving so all was good again.
