Default 2000 A4 1.8L turbo (manual) smoke exhaust

Hey guys, hoping someone can help me on here, even someone who has maybe had the same problem if it's common. My exhaust lets out heaps of smoke, the smoke isn't white is blue-ish smoke, normally happens when I rev the engine & take off in first gear, & when the car is warm, tonight I was driving it & it's freezing here is australia & wasn't doing it but normally on a warm day my exhaust is like a chimney. Also my oil is always running out, there is no leak under the car but im finding im having to re-fill it with oil quiet often.

Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Blown turbo. Cheapest fix is look on ebay or call wrecking yard and get a used turbo, they can be 100-200 bucks. You might consider replacing the turbo oil feed line with a brand new one. They can fill up with carbon and junk and reduce oil flow to the turbo, and cause it to wear out and fail, thus the smoke.
