Where a bouts, what was above the oil???

That could complicate it a bit, was the oil light on??

It could be oil loss causing the turbo to run dry, oil could be spraying onto fanimold and causing the smell etc???

was the dipstick still in place or had it been forced up out of its tube ?

thinking crankcase breather filter blocked, pressurising the crankcase, forcing dipstick up, oil out, loss of pressure and so on...

is the oil all over the front of the engine ?
 
Take the pipes off the turbo, take a peek inside and feel for excesive play.

If the turbo went, doubt it would sound like it was running on 3 cylinders?!
