smoking turbo?

So my car is back on the road after a long period of intermittent work. Replaced the HG, timing guides, various seals, and gaskets. Finally got it back on the road and it drives better than ever but....
I get occasional smoke on start up. Read other posts and it seems I may have a leak in the turbo allowing oil to get burned, but the leak seals itself when everything heats up?
Few questions:
How bad is this, by which I mean can I still drive the car (until I fix another car to drive instead). Should only be about a week.
I read I should check the throttle plenum for oil. Which part is the plenum and what would oil on it mean?
Finally how hard is it to rebuild a turbo? where could I source a kit? Anyone know of a good manual for this?
I'm really bummed as I miss driving this car, but I don't want to mess up things worse out of willful ignorance.
