Aaaah! Lots of smoke!

So I was merging onto a 2 lane highway this evening in my 2001 9-5 V6 with around 170k miles on it. I was following some old coot in a Buick on the entrance ramp; they had to be doing at most 40mph. So when we finally get to the highway I hit the gas to get around them. Probably a little harder than I needed to but I was having a little fun - not being an ass though. I get to around 80 (full boost), let off the gas, and look behind me. Holy crap! It looked like I was fogging for mosquitoes or something. I know my turbo is leaking SOME oil - it's been blowing blue smoke when I start it for 2 years now. Is this the next step in turbo failure? There had to be TONS of smoke to make it that visible at 80mph.
I was planning on changing the oil this week sometime, because it's got AutoRX in it right now. I have gone slightly over 1500 miles, like 1700-1800 maybe. This can't hurt too much, can it? I thought AutoRX would help my turbo, not ruin it more...
