My exhaust starts to smoke.....

Well i dont know whats going on with my car.. its just that when i push it or like jus go for a 30 minute distance it starts to smoke where the downpipe is.... It smells like burnt oil.... Someone told me my oil pump could be leaking... or my turbo is going bad and its leaking oil to the pipes.... so i dont know..... when the car is stopped... some of the smoke comes out from the bottom and from the engine bay... but all the smoke comes from the pipes of the exhaust.. what could it be?

I am no TII expert but I would say that if the oil is burning on the downpipe then the first suspect is the turbo itself.
