Default Oil pressure fluctuates?

I'm running a t3/to4e and when I start the car in the morning, the car smokes and it smells and looks like burnt oil which goes away after a few.This also happens after I get off the interstate and idle. The blow off valve opening is also dark probably due to oil in charge pipes. Are my turbo seals toast? or is oil pressure high in the morning and levels? I dont have an oil pressure guage so I cant really tell. Has anybody experienced this?

get a guage, turn down the pressure, then if it's not fixed, sell your turbo to me for parts.
