My car Vauxhall vectra 2007 diesel after driving for about 10 minutes starts to smoke white smoke too much and oil coming out of exhaust and seems to lose power. Somebody suggested could be turbo. I am not sure because sometimes after driving another 20 minutes it stops?

Could be one of the following below

1. Blown Head Gasket
2. Cracked Head
3. Cracked Block
4. Stuck/Malfunctioning Injector (white smoke could be unburned fuel).
5. One or more Glow Plugs not working (unburned fuel from one or more cylinders)
