Problems are:
Low to No Boost
Large amounts of "dust" on the turbo outlet
Oil Dripping from IC In onto heat shield
At Idle, Thin white smoke from exhaust - possibly oil, hopefully not coolant
Garage has said its possibly the gasket on the turbo and can replace it next week, problem is I have 500 miles to drive before next weekend.
What is the easiest way to check, other than cheking oil and coolant levels whether its a hg or something else ? Is it safe to drive below boost for the week ?
Or any clever ideas what it could be ?

Just been out to it again, no smoke at idle, black smoke though at boost.
Car has an FAP so shouldn't have any smoke at all.

Sounds like a fucked turbo if it's smoking on boost, but I'm not dead clued up on turbo'd stuff. No chance to get the gasket done elsewhere and see if it does anything?

Possibly turbo is fucked, after reading up a load of stuff today it could also be the DPF is clogged so the gasses can't escape hence why its not boosting.
Would also smoke slightly becuase there is oil on the filter unburnt and oil is building up in the intercooler ?
Any turbo people have any ideas ??
