Default car smoking a little... what do you guys think?

The car doesn't smoke at all at start up, idle, or wot. The only time is when you pull up to a stop it wil have a little cloud roll out of it and the smell of burning oil. It only does it when you first stop and not while your sitting there. Does it sound like a turbo problem? Also the turbo kit was used but I was told the turbo kit had less then 1k miles on it and the engine is very new less than 1500 miles. I don't know why but for some reason the first thing I thought was turbo seals or not a good enough oil drain.

Thanks

5/8" drain line is recomended , Try geting on it hard and coming to a stop to see if its still there . if it is not then you probally have a bad seal seeping. My car is doing that now and if i grandma it it smokes but if i get on it every now and then then it blows out all the oil that is accumulating in the intercooler and piping. Best of luck.

how is the crankcase setup to breathe?

I would assure the drain and crank pressure are in order first of all

My problem was the turbo sat to low to gravity drain. I bought a return pump and it 100% fixed it
