think my turbo is going out the door. basically if i rev the engine and then snap the throttle shut quick i get quite a bit of smoke out the exhaust. it's white with a slight blue tint. does this sound like turbo oil seals to you guys or maybe piston rings?

Right if you excellerate heavy then let off and see a puff of smoke behind you, thats over run and it's the turbo seals starting to fail, no problem change the turbo and engine oil/filter.
If you don't see the above, do a compression test of the cylinders and see what you get accross the board, most on warn engines are somewhere between say 130-150psi below 130 and you may need a rebuild soon.
Also check the breather system is working correctly, remove all pipes and clean through, if you don't already and aftermarket or brand new ford pot can be purchased, i had this problem on my fiesta.
From your description of the smoke and colour i would 99% say its not head gasket failure so don't rip it apart, leave that as a last resort.
Let us know how you get on.
