That used to happen to mine - oil leak. Don't know where it was from though. Since I got the engine rebuilt, problem solved.

Just get in there and check in out from top & bottom with good light source and find the leak. It is probably dripping on to the exhaust components and burning.

Rear main seal, probably. The oil then drips on the exhaust and smokes. The seal is not really hard to replace, though you do have to remove the transmission and clutch/flywheel.

It's most likely oil dripping from the secondary turbo on to your precat/downpipe. Get under the car and take a look.

Another possible source is a damaged oil metering line, as these pump more oil at higher rpm..

Depends what you mean by "jump around". The oil pressure will increase with the RPM but it's fairly linear.
