That is standard without an AOS.

The stuff under the turbo is likely a loose banjo, missing copper washer or leaking rubber hose.
Okay, but the issue is very intermittent and oil smoke appears from both sources simultaneously (I'm not seeing one issue without the other), so I can't imagine there's more than one issue here. How would a leaking banjo fitting or hose cause the tailpipe smoke?

Edit: and I don't know what you mean by oil in the intake. I probably could have been more clear, but the intake tract has no significant oil residue.
