Lots of tailpipe smoke

Hi All
My wife has a 2003 9-5 lpt wagon with 92000 miles on it 4 cyl, auto. It has had regular oil changes about every 4000 miles with mobil 1. I have dropped the oil pan about a year ago and removed the valve cover, minimal sludge no pickup screen blockage. She told me that it has been running a little rough lately and when she started this afterneen a lot of bluish smoke was coming out of the tailpipe. I removed the intake pipe and found no signicifant oil or residue present. I also removed each sparkplug and they appeared fine-light gray. It is not loosing any coolant so I doubt it is the head gasket. No funny sounds coming from the engine except for a little balance chain rattle on start up-this has been ongoing. I am leaning toward the turbo, however, with no oil residue I am not sure. Any input would be appreciated.
