what colour smoke , black or white as in burning oil smoke, you say pool of oil in turbo mouth, have seen a few failed turbos on these .....broken shafts or turbo shaft wobbling all over the place
If it is a failed turbo be sure to empty oil out of intercooler and pipe work , very scary when they run up on residue oil until its all over in a cloud of smoke.
