Had changed the air intake to turbo pipe part number A6395282082 as it had melted where it goes into turbo.

Once that was done, I took it for a drive and white smoke was coming out of exhaust. When I opened the bonnet, I noticed the oil had sprayed all over the engine... There was oil dripping on the floor and had a path (drops on road) not sure if it was a leak or just drips from when it sprayed!

Any more questions I will answer thank you in advance.

It sounds like the oil pressure or return line for the turbo is leaking. I would run the engine and without driving it use a flashlight to see if you can find the source of the leak.
