Default HELP: Turbo leaking oil

I blew up my stock motor about a month ago. I just installed some used OEM pistons rings rods on my poor LS motor (I'm a poor man). Compressions are 170 across all 4 pistons. The engine still idles pretty good but white smoke still coming out of the exhaust like crazy. I noticed some smoke at the turbo manifold, oil is burning at the turbo. There were some bubbles where the manifold and turbo bolt together. After a while the bubble gone away but oil is still burning behind the turbo. When I blew my motor, I didn't see any leak on the turbo. What should I do now? Rebuild the turbo? By the way, it's a Drag III and has only about 3500 miles. TIA

white smoke is coolant burning in your combustion chamber. check your head gasket ..
