Looks like turbo seals are going out
So from doing as much research as possible and looking at the possible symptoms, I came to the conclusion my turbo seals are going bad, which turbo, idk. My car has been smoking alot and I can smell burnt oil, smoke is oil/blueish. After looking around in my car I saw alot of oil on the coupler that goes from the turbo outlets to the FMIC, as you can see in the picture below. However my oil never seems to be low, which leads me to believe they are just burning oil little by little. What would you guys suggest it is or I'm I right? I'm at 18k miles which also blows my mind! 2009 n54 FBO

You've aleeady gone FBO, I would seriously consider replacing the turbos (with bigger aftermarkets) rather than fixing them at this point.
Understanding you only have 18k miles and that sucks, but it sounds like you honestly don't drive your car enough. Seals go bad when they aren't used. Cars were meant to be driven, not sit around in showcases. My $.02

I think the turbo seals are done for... Especially if the oil is starting to seep like that.
Went to the drag strip last night and ended up with bluish/white smoke and that horrid smell as well. It might be time for new turbos.

Do a oil sample and make sure your not leaking fuel into the oil.

Google Blackstone and they will send you a free kit. You can take the oil from the filter or the drain. It like $25 for the report.
