Could be valve stem oil seals?
(Unless you did these as part of the head work)

Spending this year on the Forester has been hefty
Leave me out of it.

Does a boxer engine really have a bottom end?
Srsly tho, that is unfortunate. Can you swap out the engine for a different one? Out of an still WRX is where I'd start.
It is curious that the heads have been off recently and skimmed etc. I reckon the workshop has made some errors.

@mi7rennie
I feel like a budget version of @Dammit.
Spending this year on the Forester has been hefty, around £4000. Includes new rear arms (upper and lower), heads off, skimmed, new updated gaskets, clutch, timing belt, water pump, cam sensor. Full 3" stainless exhaust with sports cat.
Now it looks like the bottom end has gone, blue smoke from the exhaust at all times, increasing with revs under load.
Ah fuck.
