sounds like your turbo is about to blow. you should replace it or rebuild it.

or could be valve cover gaskets and/or seals.. remove your coolant reservoir, clean the area really good and confirm that it is or isnt your turbo and repair accordingly.

I second that.
These cars tend to leak oil from several places.
It could be your turbo but it's most likely something above it instead. (i.e. cam seals or valve cover)
This is especially true if you don't hear any signs of the Turbo Lady singing or
excessive tailpipe smoke.
