Default Escort Cosworth Smoking!

Hi guys, got another problem with the cos, was driving along , stopped at the lights, lots of white smoke, with a hint of blue, drove off it cleared, nxt lights same again. Pulled up, oil presure gauge had dropped. Took car home checked oil was low, topped it up, started up good oil pressure, no smoke at all! Could it off been low oil (unknown make and needs a change) and geting hot thined it out and it seeped through the turbo seals? The turbo shaft has approx. 4mm of side to side move ment!

Any Ideas guys?

Thanks sean
