Default lots of oil missing...

hey guys,
I filled my car with oil one afternoon, and went driving later that nite. It was smoking like crazy(it was nite time, but the smoke looked white to me). So I go home, and check oil level...there is no oil I notice oil dripping out my BOV, and assumed that it is a turbo seal.

I took everything off for inspection today, and there is oil in the my intake hose, comp housing, and charge pipies. My return line has no kinks, and makes a perfect slope into the top of my oil pan(it has worked like this for almost 1.5 years. The wheel shaft has no play in it either. The turbo has probably 20,000+ miles on it. So does it sound like the turbo seals are bad? I read all the other posts, and it seems they are to me, I just want to make sure Also any shops you recommend?
Thanks,
Josh

forgot to mention that It is a turbonetics t3/t4 from the fmax kit. I think t3/t4b, but I am not sure.

if your charge pipe is soaked with oil then the turbo seal is bad, let's hope ONLY the turbo seal is the bad
