It sounds like the oil seal on the turbo is shot and it's pumping oil 
into the engine.  I'll bet the exhaust pipe is oily.  Given that you 
also have no boost suggests a rebuilt turbo is in your future.  BTW, 
you probably don't want to tear the whole thing down, it's not leaking 
and otherwise runs well, so I'd look at just fixing the turbo.
