Can you visualy see any oil on it? What color is the smoke? Also could it be an exhaust leak? Do you hear any ticking? Just some things to check for.

mine smoked, it was because my oil dump line on the turbo wasnt big enough. check your line and see if you have oil coked in the dump tube. that will cause oil to build up in the turbo and dump over into the exhaust side

white & sweet = coolant
blue-ish = oil
black-ish = fuel, too rich.
