It sounds like you're gpr has bit the dust, but check with a multimeter or a test light to be sure before you throw parts at it.
There will be some oil in the turbo compressor housing and builtup in the intercooler from the crankcase vent anyways, but if the seals are gone on the comp housing then yes it will leak enough into the intake and make a good bit of smoke come out of the exhaust.
