Fit a turbo repair kit.

Experts say you can't DIY repair turbos.

Thats' why Garret supply repair DIY kits!

About £50 and easy to do. It would take an hour or so.

Good fun, and a whole lot less than a "RECON" turbo for £500, which is someone else's blown turbo fitted with a £50 repair kit.

Blue = oil smoke.

So as Charles says, turbo seals.
