Leaking internal turbo seals will put oil into the intake and exhaust. Leaking oil connections will spray oil in the engine bay, and onto your hot exhaust manifold & turbine. Don't run the car until you fix the problem, unless you intend to burn it to the ground.

Yes, as I mentioned, if the compressor or turbine seals are allowing oil into the intake or exhaust, it will smoke like crazy.
