Take off the lower intercooler pipe. If lots of oil comes pouring out the turbo is leaking from bad bearings. You can confirm this by taking off the pipe at the turbo and wiggling the turbo. If it's loose it's bad.

What kind of mpg are you getting? Does the engine otherwise run fine? Idle ok?

When was the timing belt last done? Smoke is either fuel or oil, which is it?
