I meant intercooler, throttle body and beyond. Some might be in the turbo inlet hose after the beather fittings but more likely in/past IC.

Blow by causes the oil in the breathers and thus out the exhaust. Those likely have nothing to do with an external leak.

How do you see the drip when driving to see the smoke? Other than the oil system being at higher pressure at higher RPM, there really is little link between internal and external oil. Even oil leaking past the bushing in the turbo and into the IC inlet is not going to leak outside the turbo. Thus, two sources.
