Smoking 850 Turbo Wagon 850

My 94 850 turbo wagon just started to smoke when it idles for more that a couple of minutes. It appears to stop as soon as you drive for a while. But it's more than a little smoke as you can see it rising up in the rear view mirror.
The car has 150,000 miles on it and otherwise runs good. Oil consumption is not excessive, 1 qt in 3000 miles usually.
Any ideas??

    okay
    i just get rid of this problem a few weeks ago , there is a few things to check
    first dont worry about the oil trap under the intake, its nothing at all except a plastic box ,,,, but check the ridgid hose who connect to the air intake hose just close the turbo intake , this hose is coming from the oil trap ,,, check carefully ,,,, if you have blue smoke when idling , due to your high mileage
    your turbo seal are probably due ,,, but check everything, around the turbo
    you may find something wrong ,,,sorry about my english ,, im french so i hope this could help

    White smoke = water = maybe head gasket?
    Black smoke = oil = maybe turbo?
