Take the intake pipe off the turbo and see if there is play in the turbine/shaft, there should be a small amount, if it's gone it will have loads of play in it. If it appears ok get a compression test done before anything else.

there is also other seals on the turbo tho, i had a car in at work recently with very similar symptoms, no power, lots of smoke and low oil....first thing i checked was the shaft which had no play at all, turned out to be a seal on the exhaust housing side.


Whats the coolant level/look like?
