ive done some ringing around today, and came across an older chap who has been in the turbo business for many years, he put my mind at ease assured me there are heaps cheaper ways to address this leak, he reckoned if there were no weird noises, that the power hadn't dropped off and if there was no smoke, it could easily be repaired with new seals, he presently had a reconditioned one and a new one specific for my model on the shelf.
he reassured me that as long as its not leaking oil onto the road it will be ok to continue using it indefinitely, however i have arranged to get it into him in the new year.
