More than likely a leaky oil seal at the exhaust side of the turbo.
I was told something like that when my car started putting out SMALL puffs of smoke... unfortunately I believed it. Thanks to that advice, a couple months later when the turbo seal blew completely, it turned into almost $2k of repairs. CEL was coming on intermittently, the result of the O2 sensor being coated in oil, and later the oil burning off. Have the CEL diagnostic code read out. If it is for the front or rear O2 sensor, the oil from the turbo is fouling the sensor or the cat.
Having a turbo rebuilt when only the seal is leaking and you can shop around is only a few hundred $$. Waiting until it blows, and/or seizes up can be very expensive.
