I've found oil all up the exhaust and along the heat shield but nothing in the floor pan

if it is the turbo can it be disconnected and the car still used ? as we live completely rural , I found no oil in the floor pan but it is all up the exhaust and heat shield and fuel tank

you can not disconnect turbo you need to get yours checked out by a garage they will be able to check it for wear on the impeller
