Does it clear at higher RPM?

If its smoking all the time it will most likely be the turbo - if its doing it under load its the rings, if its doing it on overrun or on first start-up its the stem seals...

Thats the basics and there are loads of variables!

[Plug]

Pop your head up under the turbo and you'll see if the seals have gone cause oil will be leaking out of the housing,

You could unbolt the turbo from the block and leave it piped up,
And see if it's still smoking then, of not the turbo needs a recon

[sionrow]

[alexmyers000]

[Will F]

Lol - very unlikely to be the actuator. Prob just burning oil off that had 'seaped' into the exhaust...
