Pretty good news it's "just" the turbo - I use quotes because it's still money and work, but at least it's that and not worse.

I'm not sure if the N55 turbo is also coolant driven or just oil driven. My guess would be it was leaking/burning both oil and coolant.
Coolant has a lower burning temp, and would start burning off around 250-300 degrees. Oil would start burning off after 350. I figure there was coolant in there, but was burned off to the point where it just had the litre of oil leftover.
Just my 2cents
Happy to hear the issue was solved and you didn't need a new engine
