I've been noticing a lot of blue/grey smoke when going aroud steep corners, or long steep uphills.  This in a non-carborated EA82.    I'm thinking my pick-up tube in the pan is sucking air or some other problem when gravity sloshes all the engine fluids to one side of the motor.  OR  the piston rings are shot.  

 

Any ideas?

Check the PCV system, This engine is known to ingest oil in the pcv with long right hand sweeping turns such as an on ramp. Check the breather hoses to the pcv and valve covers if they are clogged like arteries. This is likely your problem, investigate that first.

I had some 007 style smoke plumes going up steep hills at speed of course (so, it has to be EA82T ) and it turned out to be some sort of bad compression in one pot - 60 psi half what it should be. From the way the engine flew so smoothly and powerfully you would never pick it. Low compression, blowby, crankcase pressurising and going uphill - oil was being pushed up the maze of the coverplate at the rear and out the PCV rear breather of mpfi EA82's and getting into the intake system. A ctach can worked - at catching hot browny black bubbling oil.

Maybe try a compression test ?
