Ya know, you just may have a point there. I do know oil does make it's way through the turbo seals, as does every turbo to varied degrees depending on the driving conditions and age. I did do some fairly heavy boosting on that trip, the last leg of which included a nearly 4 mile climb up a 5% grade hill at 60+mph. Oil from the turbo could have made it's way through the intake system and settled near the intake valves, which was then sucked into the engine the following morning for the smoke show. I'll give the intake system a look-see. I cleaned it out recently so that should be a good guage. The following morning after a day of normal driving didn't produce a smoke show, so the above theory may be viable.
