I had it recovered and it now starts but blue smoke comes out of the exhaust and the engine is smoking smells like a burning oil and the water is also leaking some where please please help!

I am not a mechanic but from experience I guess that the gasket is burnt and it would need to be replace but I dont know the cost.

You need to get the coolant leak resolved first. If coolant runs low, overheating would occur and if the head gasket had not been damaged yet, it would sooner or later if the situation persists.

Your turbocharger is gone. The turbo is lubricated directly from the oil feed. When the seals inside the turbo goes oil is being fed directly into the air intake. Do not start engine untill this is fixed. You will empty your sump and lose all lubrication.
