Default White smoke

Hey guys, another tech question. I have white smoke coming out from where the turbo bolts to the dp (Greddy 15g) I had a massive oil leak everywhere (oil feed line from the block and to the turbo as well) I am running mobil1 synthetic oil and there was oil on the turbo due to the leak. Do you think the white smoke is from oil burning off?

No white smoke means you have a coolant leak somewhere
Blue smoke is oil
black smoke is fuel when you are running rich

I was under the impression white smoke could be oil seaping past the turbo seals and burning up on the exhaust side?
