With regards to the smoke, the oil smoke will be Hazy and have a very very obvious blue colour,  diesel smoke will be a more whitish grey colour and smell like diesel   Pump advance seems off.. Maybe regime the engine properly. 

If the turbo oil seal is leaking it will be using quite a bit of oil, and also the smell is quite distinctive if it is burning oil. 

If the piston rings are shot, burning oil isn't a likely candidate as the high pressure would mean that the diesel would tend to blow by into the crankcase and dilute the oil with diesel somewhat. A different problem in itself.  You would also start to see symptoms of this elsewhere, less power etc..


Try to ease some of the max fuel off, or alternatively turn the boost up on the turbo a little and see if it makes a difference, as others have said. Try the timing a little, advance it until the revs begin to rise and then back it off just a touch and see if the blue smoke goes.
