Bad Turbo? or Bad Something Else?

2000 9 3, 89k, 2nd owner since Oct 2004. Well cared for Saab smokes on start-up for 3 seconds then stops. Smokes again if left to cool for 1.5 hrs or so. No fouling on plugs, no oil in cylinders (swabbed with clean rag on a wire) previous to start-up. Seems like a bad turbo but turbo sounds good and makes good boost and power. What I would like now is a quick and dirty way to prove to myself that oil is getting into the exaust side of the turbo. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated as long as it is favorable.
-Thanks
