As this would be a very quick and effective test if so. Sounds like the exhaust system is full of oil from a blown turbo (current or previous). Suggest splitting the exhaust from the down pipe, run it for some time and see if it smokes still.
Why does my Ford Focus kick out unburnt diesel?
Another thought, your suggestion (Helldiver) on the sensor misreading temperature of the gases going back into the engine would presumably cause problems only when hot, whereas my car kicks out unburnt diesel when hot, but also suffers from a performance problem while cold.
