Default C6 Oil Separator

2008 A6 Quatro 3.2 with 154,000 miles. Saw blue smoke last fall, was parked in garage for the winter. Now, huge puff of blue smoke when restarting after a 5 mile drive. Local Audi mechanic suggested bad oil separator. Anyone have similar experience? Also showing P0068, P2070 and P2279. Thank you in advance!

Issue I have (no DTC) is when I drive for about 5min downhill with throttle closed, on acceleration I get a huge amount of blue smoke for a second. No smoke in any other situations.
Not sure what’s the probleme here.

I had this issue and I thought it could be the oil separator which I replaced but the issue persisted. My next step was to replace the valve stem seals but I ended up selling the car to junk for some long story reason.
