Blowing big time bluish/white smoke from tailpipe

2002, 9-5 Linear Sedan, 98K miles.
(Prev history: Oil pressure warning and safety warning lights came on during highway driving. Dipstick level was fine but light was still coming on. Had to drive like that >50 miles. Mechanic told me it's a defect in the oil pump/screen, which was common before 2000 but apperently happened in this model, too. Removed the pan, replaced oil pump screen, put in new oil and filter (~$700 job).)
Next day, I'm driving on the highway again and notice a huge cloud of bluish/grey smoke behind me. Happens when I hit the gas (hard acceleration) and suddenly take my foot off the pedal.
I gave it another try today. There's some bluish/grey smoke coming from the tailpipe after starting the engine. Nothing too remarkable for the 1st 30 mins of the drive. Then, the same thing. Hit the gas (3-4K rpm), take foot off and 'boom'! In the rear view mirror, I see the mother off all smoke clouds emitted by a car. Repeats each time...
What's my Saab up to? Any advice?
