Exclamation got the S4 running but now an issue- ideas??

Well this motor was running great (few minor fuel leak issues). I got all the issues taken care of today and them all of a sudden-- BLUE SMOKE yes oil NOT collant just puking from the exhaust. Soaking wet at the pipes of oil.
The motor isnt missing like it is getting fouled out. Actualy is runs damn smooth (thanks Chris).

Well I changed the S4 turbo to a used S5 turbo, could I have lost the turbo cause the motor doesnt miss? The turbo had around 30K maybe less on it.
Is there a way I can check to see where this oil is comming from? I pulled the plugs and they are not wet of oil.

I need some help here guys.

Thanks

Turbo needs to be rebuilt.The oil seals in the turbo are bad.Don't run it too long like this otherwise you're gonna find yourself in need of more than just the turbo.

thanks!

I wouldn't think it was your fault.The turbo was probably bad from the getgo.The guy who sold it to you may have decieved you or didn't know.
