If the smell is only out the tailpipe then it could be
buildup/accumulation
in the exhaust and driving it hard NOW should actually clear that up.
Making the good mileage kinda indicates it's not likely to be a bad
injector or a big leak. Only other thing would be if it's now, for some
reason, pulling a little more air through the intercooler and sucking
some of the accumulated oil out of it and the boost tubes and
making more exhaust smell.
If you smell it from the fresh, cabin air then look for oil splattered
from the turbo hose or possibly elsewhere, or look for leaking fuel
at any connections.
