Loose oil line to the turbo might be leaking just enough to then hit the hot DP and smoke upward, or might be a loose return line, same scenerio as the first, hitting the DP and smoking upward.

The hose seems all collected, but the car was leaking oil b4. So it should be ok?

What do you mean hose is all collected? Do you see any oil around the hoses?

I mean the hose for the Turbo is not loose. But the rubber joint for the intercooler was broken. And some oil was leak from there.

Is it possible to clean it up without taking everything apart?

I had oil coming out of my turbo but that was because the seal broke. Had to replace the turbos

loose coupling

I had a loose/cracked rubber coupling form the turbos to the crossover pipe. Also check the BOV, BPV?? 1"hose.
Since the turbos spits out a little bit of oil over time, it was covering the Y pipe and started smoking after some hard driving.
I cleaned the engine then replaced the crappy rubber with silicone and steel braided 1" hose for the BOV.
No more smoke
