Some Engine Probs---help please

So i may have some problems with my 911TT, please someone give me some advice.

Firstly, upon hard acceleration, the car seems to have smoke coming out of the exhaust--not much, just a slight puff, and drivers behind me tell me they can smell something burning. I've heard its blueish (oil).

Secondly, at idle, when the car is warmed up, i get a LOW OIL PRESSURE warning light. The oil pressure gauge is usually sitting at 1.5 for this to be triggered. Is this normal range for oil pressure or low? If i tap the gas just slightly, the light goes away.

Third, upon acceleration, the car is FAST, but at about 1500 RPM the car kinda feels like its hesitating till about 1900 RPM. I'm assuming this is not normal.

Someone please help me out on how to diagnose these problems.

Thanks.

Where are the bars sitting when you do the oil level test?

The second problem could be the oil pressure sending unit failing...

The bars can be either full or at half. I get the same problem--I constantly monitor the oil level.

When it goes away does it shoot up to 5.0? The oil pressure indicator
