The Best thing I can suggest would be to see where the oil came from, looking for the oil trails. Could be, in my opinion, the rear shaft brass "bearing" or the retaining clip on the exhaust side of the turbo, since you said you saw oil on the exhaust pipe (so, did you see oil on the pipe close to turbo, or inside the muffler?), but it may be as well the air to turbo hose, which is known to crack. But as I know, the air to turbo hose (the one from air filter to turbo) shouldn't cause smoke since you already have an ehm and the crank case oil vents through ehm. Unless you overfilled with oil and ehm blew on the exhaust. Could be the pressure line of oil to turbo, or where it connects to turbo. You really need to take some of the accessories out to look where could it came from. How's your oil level, did you loose a lot of oil? If your turbo doesn't have more than 1/32 play, and there is enough oil in the engine, start it up and see where it leaks, but have somebody in the driver seat while you do that to quickly turn off the engine if necessary.
Btw, with ehm or provent, and a good turbo, there should be no oil in the intercooler hose (turbo to intercooler), unless that oil has been there previously of running ehm/provent. An oil wet inside turbo to intercooler hose, under those circumstances, suggest the turbo leaks oil on the compressor side.
