Advice needed

I have/had a 330d but had a loss of power loads of black smoke from exhaust pulled onto the hard shoulder switched off still had smoke from exhaust for maybe 5 mins, the smoke is now grey/white is this the turbo. I had checked the oil level at the weekend all ok but after this it is not showing on the dip stick would this of burnt from earlier problem?

check simple stuff first - hoses to the turbo / intercooler etc

Does the 330 have a turbo ?

Edit -
Apparently it does have a turbo. Didn't realise that any other the *35d had one.

I agree as above. Whip the pipe that goes from the air filter housing to turbo off and see if it's got loads of oil inside (might wanna wear some gloves. Tell tale sign of knackered seals on the turbo.

Cheers will check hoses tomorrow, but if the turbo has gone would it draw the oil from the engine?
