Default Losing Oil and Coolant

Ever since I've had the car, I notice losing oil and coolant. I'd say I drop about 3/4-1qt of oil in between each oil chance (3000 miles). Coolant seems to go at a similar rate. I also have what seems to be a bluish/white smoke coming from my exhaust. My exhaust also smells bad but I do have a test pipe and I also have a few exhaust leaks which would let the exhaust into the cabin. I figured the smell came from the test pipe but a friend said my car "smelled like it was buring oil and coolant". There is no oil in coolant or coolant in oil. I have no performance issues at all. Boost 7-8 psi and idles fine. I'm thinking maybe bad seals in the turbo but it is not smoking like crazy like people say it will. Also possibly leaking coolant flange as it looks pretty greasy on my trans (which maybe is burning the coolant that drops onto it and producing the burning coolant smell?) Any input?

It sounds like your turbo is going bad.
