Need a little help here. When driving home yesterday my car ('03 9-5 Linear wagon) I started noticing plumes of whitish blue smoke trailing me every time I got off the throttle. Not sure if related some way or not, I had to jump the car after it had sat for about 5 days at work (Note: it sometimes sits for a month or more at my work when I have company test cars to drive).

Got it home at which time it popped a low oil light (oil had been fine when check ~2 weeks previous). Changed the oil, only got about 2 quarts back out) and put it on a trickle charger. Now it will start fine, but billows smoke from the tailpipe. I think I here something slightly not right with the engine, but can't pinpoint it. My thought is the turbo has gone south. Any thoughts from the experts? Oh yeah, car has 64K miles and has only had about 1000miles put on it in the last 6 months. Thank you for any help!
so this problem seems to have cropped up quickly, but may have been happening for a little while. Yesterday on the way home I
