Yup, either one of the tips from the spark plugs has got jammed in the turbo blades and caused the oil seals to go... or... more likely a head gasket gone. Mine went, white smoke and struggled to start and rev properly. Get it sorted before it dies of oil starvation like mine did. oops.

You could have knocked and damaged your thermostat, still is this water vapour or is it white smoke? And you don't have to lose lots of water/oil or even get white gunk in your oil for the head gasket to have gone, the issue could be compression related so worth getting that checked (ie take to dealer)
