saaboc,
Inspect the PCV circuit, otherwise sounds like a head gasket leak if it's really coming from the tailpipe and the turbo has been doing OK. Never heard of using 2 stroke oil in Gasoline on a C900, don't think that I'd do that anymore, could be hard on the injectors. Put MMO in with the engine oil if you want to clean crud from the engine. If it's really smoking profusely from the tailpipe I'd have it towed home. If it's just making a few puffs nurse it home cautiously. If it's blowing black smoke that's from an over rich mixture like maybe an injector (or 2)is jammed up. Blue-white smoke is burning oil. If it appears to be oil (from any source) coating the exhaust and burning you must consider the potential for a fire if you drive it home.
