2000 9-3 problems

I've got a 2000 9-3 that has in successive weeks had a A/C compressor seize and tear apart some belts, a DI failure which left me stranded in at night in a sever thunderstorm, and a massive and costly oil leak where I had the oil pressure switch, oil pan and main crankshaft seal replaced. Now, there is white smoke cloud billowing from the exhaust and I understand from other posts that it may be some leaky turbo seals but it could also be a cracked cylinder head or failing turbo intercooler....am I throwing good money after bad into this car. I have 78K miles, all highway miles which doesn't seem too excessive but if I'm going to be in the shop every other week I'd at least better have a Ferrari. Basically I'm asking for any help in telling me what to expect in the next few months. Any help is appreciated.
