As a follow-up. My dealer needed to be reminded at my 20k mile service that the turbo was smoking. They called me later that afternoon to inform me that there was no smoking problem. I told them to look again after the turbo cooled down. Finally, they did see the smoke and will replace the turbo. Apparently the Banjo bold clogs and prohibits oil from lubricating the turbo and causes the seals to go bad.
MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON TOP OF YOUR DEALER AND DEMAND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TURBO ASAP. THEY SHOULD BE FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BY NOW.
