Sounds like normal oil getting past the turbo bearings, they aren't a perfect seal because some oil flow is necessary past the bearings, they float on an oil film you know. If you have too much past the bearings you will see smoke under acceleration.
There is some belief that one reason some 350SD engines failed with bent rods is due to carbon build up on the top of the piston which may be caused by leaking turbo bearings. That is just a theory.
