ets pt 61mm prob

back story that might be important:
two nights ago i had the inkling to take off my intake tosee if it is clean. i look in and there is a small pool of oil where the "sleeve" holds the intake pipe onto the turbo. i don't think that's normal so i take a rag and try to sop it up. i don't hit the turbo or anything.
today on the way back from work after 20miles, i get to the exit and it starts sounding rough and conks out at idle. i get it to the gas station and check it out and call my mech - we go over a couple things. check the aem with my laptop and it appears to be getting all sensors, etc. just rough idle and can't rev at all (real rough and shakey). smoke comes out the exhaut that is whiteish when reving. I have another friend call a mech friend of his. he says he had the same turbo on his 4 cyl mustang (pt 61mm) and they have been having seal and/or bearing problems causing oil to get sucked in and cause problems. i take the intake off again and it looks like there is more oil in there and it is moving around alot when i rev and at idle and might sound like it is hitting the bades of the turbo. this doesn't have a ton of miles! what is my next step??? thanks

Typical PTE turbo problem. Get it rebuilt, hopefully under warranty.

Have the same turbo. No issues yet. A little shaft play that PT tells me is normal however they will look at free of charge if I send it in.

Great guys on the phone. Warranty is 1 yr from PT

anyone else have any other suggestions or theorys of what it could be? it was a sudden loss in power/reving ,etc so i don't think it could be sparkplugs, etc...but....

ok, so update...the motor is apart and my guy called and said that the one piston is fubar..what would cause this?? it was at lowish boost and not too much timing he says and is blaming it on a bad piston (he might have said all the pistons are shot on his msg, but couldn't really tell, but i think it would have drove worse if all were f-dup.). he says he is going to send it to the machine shop (i guess to clean it up), and we'll go from there. i am going to try to attach the aem map to see if anyone spots any issues...thanks

yes it was dyno tuned (as well as driven). i do have all standard gauges. yes there were wot runs. i had someone else look at the cal (because i don't know how to post it up on here) and they said knock control was off. I forgot to add:
the boost is controled by an AVCR, not the ems if that makes a difference
