Default help,dont know whats wrong.Turbo Leak!!

well guys my somethings wrong with my car.I was driving at high speeds today on the highway when my car jumps and begins to smoke from under the hood,i know its in oil leak,but im not sure from where.Now the problem is my turbo only spools to like 3 or 4lbs. and then makes an ugly sound(very loud)and doesnt spool up anymore.the leak is coming somewhere from the turbo and manifold area,is my turbo going bad or is it just doing that cuz of the oil leak,theres oil on the ground just below the turbo.What can be the problem,my exhaust shoots white smoke,my motor runs perfectly,its just when i spool up.so i dont wanna drive my car until the problem is solved, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

Are you sure that the two things were related? Check your intercooler piping.
