Need some help...

I recently noticed some oil residue on the flange from the turbo to the downpipe. Also noticed smoke coming out of the exhaust. It is evident that is oil on the flange because the oil burns between the turbo and downpipe (flange) sometimes and it smokes there too. Checked my plugs and no sign of oil. Also did a compression test and numbers were even on 190-195lbs range. Is the oil coming from the turbo? Is it going bad?

Sounds like the seal in the turbo might be leaking into the

exhaust housing.

Why does the Audi oil cap say low oil will damage the catalytic converters?
