Blut-tint smoke!!! HELP!!!
So i have a 1997 GST with 141k.... Put full exhaust on her Sunday and I've started to notice after sitting at a stop light, this blue smoke will blow out when i take off. Note, I DO NOT floor it at every light! I need some input from everyone who can add their .02! Please don't reply if you are not 100% sure of yourself.

He gave you some advice, you just didn't listen. It's hard to tell you which oil seal is leaking, but one of them is.

clipse, don't give bassman shit. He's about 20x more experienced than you as far as cars go, and knows his shit. He does fucking diagnostics at AutoZone for his real-life job, you're lucky he's giving you that advice for free. It's your car, so it's up to you to figure out which oil seal is leaking.
I'm sure he would love to "be more specific" if you flew him to Illinois and paid him for his time.

There's a high probability that it is your turbo.
How old is it? Any shaft play?
k bai.

Ok, my bad. It's the stock turbo, when the intake was put on, i checked the turbo for shaft play and it had nasty shaft play..... So i guess my questions now would be, time for the 14b upgrade? And how would i go about checking if it is the turbo seal? Thanks everyone for their input, well except for Zappa, kind of hard to talk big, when you drive the tampon of the car world! hahaha sorry, my girlfriend said that as she read your comment....

HAHAHAHAHAHA FUNNY SHIT!!!!!
As far as what you want to do now... Its up to you man, it's your car... 14b? Go for it. As far as finding out FOR SURE if your turbo seal is shot... It is. If you have "Nasty shaft play" your turbo seal is most defiantly shot bro.
