Welcome to the FFO!
I do not have experience with current turbos.
I do have limited experience with the older turbos from the 80s. A seal leak in those required turbo replacement.
That is the bad news. The good news it replacement was not difficult depending on application.
If it were me, I would be getting a factory shop manual to do that job.
Looking at ebay, used turbos are $50 to $90. New ones ar $220 and up.
then there is gaskets and misc parts.
The single turbo I had experienced on a 2.3l in the 80s was very sensitive to oil. There was some quirly way to get oil into the turbo. Then the engine shut down was extended to get the turbo to spin as slow as possible before turning off the engine.
Good luck.
