Blue/Grey Smoke (longish)

Based on my reseach here, I think I have a bad seal on my turbo, but would like your advise.
I have a 2000 9-3 base with 120,000 miles. I bought in January with 112,000 miles and have been using Mobil 1 replacing every 5000 miles, and used Techron Concentrate once. I have noticed small drops of oil in my garage starting about 2 weeks ago. On Monday, I noticed heavy smoke while driving home after being on the road for about 2 hrs, but only when I took my foot off the accelerator. The next morning when I started it up, tons of blue/grey smoke came billowing out. I immediately shut it down and have not started it up again since. To be safe, I'm planning on having it towed to my Indy.
Does everyone think it's the turbo seal and that the turbo will need to be replaced? or could it be something else? Can I drive it, or will i cause more damage. If it's the turbo, about how much will it cost?
Thanks for all your help.
