Default Is my oil seal in the turbo cooked?

I was on my way to the 1/8 mile track in albany, GA and as soon as I got gas in ga. (much cheaper than FL) I was pulling out of the gas station and did a full boost blast up to speed (80ish). Everythings fine, no problems, no overheating, no water loss, and I thought no oil leaks! Well, I look back in my mirror and I cant see a thing! There was more smoke coming out of my exhaust than a freaking coal power plant. I made some phone calls and tried to trouble shoot while on my way to GA. Basically what is happining is during boost everything is fine. AS soon as the motor sets down to a low rpm, idle or cruise, a mass of white smoke pours out of my exhaust. No smoke during normall driving, no smoke when hittin boost but as soon as I let off, hold your breath. Burning synthetic oil is nasty smellin ****. So I come to the conclusion that I have a fried turbo oil seal on the turbine side, turn around and drive home. So, no track times yet
Is it my turbo oil seal?
