If one does a general internet search regarding cleaning the exhaust after a turbo failure there are all sorts of stories out there.

My SDL only had moderately leaking turbo seals. After a reseal it took a bit time and some really hard highway driving for the nasty oily smell and moderate smoke to be reduced.
It is quite possible. I was thinking that myself. I wonder if there is a way to flush the exhaust system...
