White smoke and oil all over.

[RckyMtnLegacy]

As I was driving my turbo legacy down the highway yesterday I saw white smoke pouring out behind me, pulled over and the car stalled. Oil sprayed onto my fender and hood on the passenger side, and The vac lines that run from my turbo close to my intake popped off and are filled with oil. When I clean off the maf and start it up which takes a lot of throttle feathering white smoke pours our at my down pipe.

I just replaced my headgaskets. Could they have just blown again? Or did my turbo **** a brick?

Beginning diagnosis. Pics up and updated as I go. Anything people see chime in or come help. Thanks.

Sounds like the turbo.

New pics. I got the turbo off and still no clear sign of my problem. The turbo gaskets are a bit burnt but is that just normal even if they only have like 100 miles on them? the inside the the turbo seems black but I can't tell if its oil or not. Should I open the turbo completely?

[Legacy777]

You shouldn't have the level of oil that you do coming out of the discharge side of the compressor housing. I would suggest taking the compressor housing off. Don't bother messing with the turbine housing right now. Make sure to make the orientation of the compressor housing with the center section of the turbo.

Added turbo pics.

Do you see anything out of the ordinary when you got the compressor housing off?

[RckyMtnLegacy]

Just very oily.but now after talking with my turbo shop I believe that its my rings or a piston since I have blow by in the crankcase bad with smoke and oil spitting out of my dipstick tube. Oil probably gets to turbo since there is a tube from the crank case into intake and it just circulates it all. Turbo seems fine. Doing a compression test soon

[Legacy777]

Yeah....see what the compression test tells you.

[RckyMtnLegacy]

Dry compression: clockwise from the driverside front (two tests) 95/105, 75/80, 115/120, 0

Wet compression: 90/100, 90/85, 115/120, 0

Looks like a really dead cylinder. Think it's a hole in the piston? If it was a hole in the block I would already know right?

[Legacy777]

Yeah....if there's a hole in the block, you'd likely know it....and the engine probably wouldn't turn over too well.
