loss of power, blue smoke - sludge?

Driving my 99 9-5 SE, 4 cyl. with 90k. It suddenly lost power, could not get above 40 mph. Immediately pulled over and shut off car. Waited a minute, restarted, clouds of blue smoke emanate from the tailpipe. Got it towed away. First question - What caused this problem? Is it turbo, or a sludge realted problem, or both?
Second question - What is proper cost for repair?
Third question - Could any of this be covered by "sludge" warranty? (I bought car with 72k, with no records, from a cert. dealer. All oil changes have been as scheduled).
Thanks for any help.
