PCV Pipe = exhaust smoke?

I was getting bad oil leaks because my PCV was pinched so the pressure was just going to whichever gasket was weak or whatever. I unpinched it and the oil leaks stopped. Before fixing the PCV I also had a problem with billowing exhaust smoke after hard acceleration on the turbo, which I diagnosed as turbo seals leaking. Now that the PCV is unpinched it's no longer smoking, could this have been the cause of the smoke? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Daenon
 
yes because it was probably making tonds of crankcase pressure and pushing a ton of oil into the intake from the valve cover breather.
