I have an M reg Toyota Lucida 2.2 d automatic at the moment it's smoking from the exhaust with a burning oil smell could the turbo seals be the problem of this?
It's been sitting for a gd few years but started on the button, I the booted it down the motorway to see if that'll clear it up which it did but the it gradually got a lot worse. Normally it'll only smoke with engine running sitting still but once in motion it cleared up n it ok untill it's not moving with engine ticking over.

Yes it could be coming from the turbo. However, there are other things that can cause it to burn oil. You could have worn rings, valve seals...
