its been a month and your mechanic has not diagnosed what's wrong with car. i would be taking it to someone else. you have to appreciate that while there some very knowledgeable people on here, it is very difficult to diagnose a fault with out actually seeing the car. unless you can describe in detail what seems to be the problem, along with year,model etc you will not get any sort of answer what will be of any use to you. Sorry.

if he has only had the car from saturday why dont you wait until he gives you a diagnosis. do you have another car or can you borrow another car until the car is fixed?

Oil leak could be rocker covers, doesnt take much to do a visial inspecion to conclude this.
If the plugs gone then theres your miss fire problem.
What colour smoke is coming out of the exhaust? and why was the turbo changed?

Miss fire: probably because your plug was fecked!
Oil leak: most probably and the simplest place to start would be the rocker cover gasket, this could leak on to the up pipe elbow as mine did.
Smoke: sound like oil smoke but if you changed your turbo not long ago because it was blowing oil then there still could be some in the exaust that hast burn off yet.
If the cars running pretty well, bar the miss fire caused by the plug, then it might not be anything major... but always start with the basics

you have been caught bang to rights here.. just accept you did a stupid thing and give the guy his money back, it will show some respect and if you are lucky whenever you need some more advice in the future people MAY be forgiving enough to take the time to help you..
