blue smoke is burning oil. The turbo itself leaking oil into the intake can do this. The oil feed line for the turbo can not cause that problem. If it leaks, then you have oil running down the outside of the engine or onto the turbo... also a leaking oil feed line can lower your engine oil pressure.

Or the rings are shot and oil is seeping past them. Engine rebuild will fix that.
