So, my turbo appears to be fine, both inducer and exducer look healthy, and there is minimal shaft play, but I have oil coming out of my exhaust, and acrid white smoke. Does this sound like blown turbo seals, and what are my options?
Thanks

Yup, that sounds like a blown turbo. Sounds like there might be too much oil pressure, or an issue with the drain. I'd check the oil level to make sure it wasn't over filled, make sure the CCV isn't plugged, and check your oil drain and feed lines.
