NO!!!!!!!! IT cant be !!!!!!!!

NOOOOO!!!!!! ****!!!!! I dont know if you guys read my post of my car all of sudden blowing out blue smoke but I looked underneath again and noticed what seemed to be the turbo with oil soaked all around it. I could be wrong is the turbo visable to the naked Eye from underneath? because the thing I was looking at sits just a little ways infront of the ypipe at the bottom behined the front suspension. Is this the turbo? well if it is that thing was soaked with oil and it spread just on the outside of the oil pan area. My turbos boost really good according to boost gauge I have seen spikes up to 15 pounds!!!! but what I do notice is when I am ideling the needle on the boost gauge is shakin violently at the 20 vacuum? whats causing it? Is it the turbos? are they toast or are they fixable? or is it even the turbos? Helpppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure exactly what you're describing, but you can see the turbos from underhood as well as underneath the car. They are basically underneath and a little to the rear of the airpump. The shaky boost guage probably has nothing to do with the turbos, as they aren't doing much at idle. The oil leak and smoke probably does, and if so, unfortunately will require a rebuild.
