Default Turbo Smoking or something else?

Ok here is whats happeneing when I first turn my car on after about 2 mins im assuming the turbo is warming up or oil is leaking into the downpipe the car smokes black smoke smells like burning oil. After I drive the car for a few minutes and the turbo gets hot and engine the car stops smoking. Heres what I have thought. Let me know your 2 cents on the issue.

1. its not my comp or leak down its good.
2. def not a head gasket.
3. Possibly I might need an oil restrictor the turbo is getting high oil press at idl when i first start it and its blowing past the seals slightly and burning in the downpipe.
4. The turbo is just due for a rebuild the seals are starting to go bad and I need to get it rebuilt.

Sounds like a drain issue. Post pics of your drain set up please. Also look at the charge pipes to see if you have oil in them. Get back with us on that.
