RB5 after a spell of "committed" driving gradually lost power and started smoking heavily. On stopping and inspection the Intercooler was full of oil. I suspect a turbo problem - anyone else got any ideas? There were no loud noises - indeed sound was as normal.

Hasten to add this was not my car (thank God!) but have been asked my opinion - hence I thought I would ask everyone else.
