white smoke from turbo AND tail pipe

Hello Everyone,
after searching for a bit, I know i definitely I have an issue with my turbo smoking.
Last week when I was looking at it, the oil stain is around the hot side.

Today when i look at it, the whole hot side as well as some from the manifold was stained.

I don't seem to be loosing much oil, and my car doesn't smoke when cold.
After I see the smoke from my tail pipe, I open the hood and smoke comes from the turbo as well.

One more thing i checked was to see if there are any oil around the feed line, but it feels pretty dry (with some grime). There seem to be a little bit of oil around the return line, but very little (again with grime as well)

I was wondering if it seems like a turbo issue or a engine issue. Also if it is turbo, does it seem like a external oil leaking or an internal oil issue?

Thanks
