Just a couple of days ago I noticed a puff of blue smoke when starting the LC from cold. Should I be worried?
The injectors and washers were replaced about 8 months ago which cured the dreaded rattle, and the oil pick up gauze was spotless before this work was done. So I don't think the injectors are at fault. However I've noticed a small amount of oil seeping from the joint on the turbo pipe near the intercooler - there is a gasket and 4 bolts holding the 2 pipes together. Could all.this point to turbo issues? Valve stem seals? Not losing any oil between services.

Many thanks Glenn, gasket changed and problem solved. Two of the four bolts were not seating properly in the intercooler so changed them for slightly longer ones so the seal is much better.
