Do some searching in the FC sticky section. If you cant find a oil leak that large you really should have someone else work on the car.

well it obviously is coming from the turbo side of the engine and if you dont see any leaks on the ground then it is coming from the inside of the turbo which means that the turbo oil seal has given out and is leaking oil.....look around the engine and see if you can find any spots where you see oil that is leaking out onto the turbo and making it smoke....

as for the 3800 kick back that prob has something to do with the turbo given that it reaches its max boost around 3800-4K
