smoke coming from were the turbos are. pic and more details

It looks like some type of oil is getting on the turbo housing and creating smoke.

I wiped it down yesterday and drove it today for a few minutes. It drove fine then normal boost everything, then parked it and popped the hood and smoke was coming from the turbo.

After the smoke went away I inspected the turbo housing again and it had oil on it.
The picture is the oil is at and creating the smoke. I wiped it off again but it just normal motor oil.

any thoughts.

Check the oil lines on your turbo's, they are banjo bolts with crush washers. I had the same problem, it appeared one of the lines was leaking. After replacing the washers the oil leak was fixed
