 yeah. you'll find it will smoke more at idle.
have a look in your i/c pipe work as well, if the inlet seal is leaking there'll be oil in them.

Yes most likely turbo seals - take it out, give it a bit of a hiding, then pull over and let it idle for a minute or two. If you start to choke to death, then it's a pretty sure bet the turbo seals are knackered. When you say 'garret T25', do you mean something from a Nissan engine? If so, you might well be up for an apalling repair bill.

To test if it is the rear turbo seal , Go for a drive and get the motor to operating temp then with the motor idling block off the crank ventilation breather/s for about 10 sec , if it starts pouring out smoke it will be the seal .
