Could be both

Do a compression test its the only way short of taking the head off.

Thing is just cos the turbo is cracked and the oil/collant is mixing wouldnt necessarily make it smoke.

I expect the oil has been ruined and has been like it for some time and possibly the rings have gone, or it may have caused overheating and made the headgasket go.

Compression test.......get on it
