White smoke high RPMs after releasing gas

Hello everybody,
I am owner of a S r56 n18 LCI automatic, with a total of 67.000 miles at the moment.
Since some weeks im noticing white smoke (not much) after it gets warm up, even if its stopped.
It started to worry me when since some days, after idling at high RPM and during gas release, it blows a lot of smoke (I will link the video below).
I changed the turbo last year and I did at best 2500 miles. I recently changed the water pump, and as I checked I noticed there's a little of water leak (or coolant?).
The car has been tuned stage2 last week, the tuner set the turbo PSI at 1,35bar, but it actual does 1,28 at his peak (could be the hot, there's 37 degrees here since weeks)

I will surely bring to a mechanic soon, but I'm sure there s way more expert people in here that can help me understand what's going on.
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't sound good after a quick Google search. Could be either PCV, valve stem seals, piston rings, or turbo...

The engine oil level has been perfect since last maintenance though…
