Maybe injectors.

Well it first started yesterday morning, when I left to go to work not even a mile down the road going up a hill I lost all my power and it ran really rough so I shut it off got out and looked for leaks couldn't see any thing more than the slight fuel leak that I had in the valley for a while. I tried to restart it but it didn't start right at first but then it did start but it ran really rough like it was only running on a few cylinders but when I pumped the gas pedal a few times it smoothed out and ran really close to normal. I few times later it seemed like it missed a little bit but nothing major. Then on the way home it started to miss again some and I noticed that it smoked white smoke when it wasn't running right. Some times it would go so low it would shut off then other times it would run normal. Finally I pulled off and checked things out still nothing major until I cheked the oil. There was no oil on the dip stick I put around a quart in and still nothing on the dip stick. So then I put an other gallon and a half in and tried starting it. It didn't start real easy but soon after I started it smoothed out. I ran if on home then and ran it some today and it seems like I am loosing oil fairly fast. It doesn't smoke except for when I start it in the morning. I checked the water in it looks good and I'm not loosing water. Any ideas and opinions would be great. Any questions I will try to answer them.

If you're losing oil quick and it's not leaking then I'd say pull the downpipe off the turbo and look for oil in the turbo

Could also be an injector o-ring. Check the fuel bowl to see what color it is. If its black, then there is oil in the fuel.

Good. Make sure you check the turbo like Mike suggested.
