u need to establish whether it's before or after the turbo. If it's after - it's the rear turbo oil seal. Before, and it's likely to be worn guides/stems/bores.

White smoke out of the exhaust and oil running down the manifold?

Head gasket might be a guess

Not sure to be honest Getting told so many things just don’t know what to think now

Been looking for a engine but don’t want to spend money on a engine if its just the head gasket but thing its the head gaskets just been done about a month ago

done a compression test and come back all fine aswell

If i was you mate id try the headgasket first before thinking about getting new turbo's/engine's just because it was done not long ago dont mean it aint gone again and a gasket is alot cheaper then buying a turbo/engine and will only take a few hours to do and even if it aint that you would have only wasted 30 note's better that than going out buying a new turbo and finding out it still dose it after you fitted that and wasted 400 pounds
