Post Loss of Boost?? Need Advice

I am all of the sudden expriencing loss of boost. Here goes, the boos now doesn't go over o psi. I checked all vacumm hoses and clamps, all look good. I turned the **** on my boost controller to add more boost wich it did about 5 psi of boost at full throttle, but when I turned to add more boost, there seems to be causing an oil leak to erupt causing smoke to emerge from the engine bay.

Seems to me like I have a boost leak at the idle control valve, because maybe since all of the psi from the turbo is going there, its causing maybe over pressurization of the crankcase causing oil leak. Can this be true???

Does your car drive like it has no boost (slow?) I believe that if you get oil into your boost gauge line, your gauge will no longer read boost. By cranking up the MBC, you may now be overboosting. You should be able to tell be feel, wheelspin, etc. whether you have boost.
