Default turbo advice....

Just been over to my car and started her up and had a shite load of oil smelling smoke come out of it, and I'm thinking this may be the turbo oil seals...

The turbo has been sat on the shelf of my shed for 8 months, would the seals have perished if they were starting to go anyways? Before I took it off the road I got the odd puff of smoke when sat at the lights and when I blipped the throttle

Also the chargecooler I bought had a bit of oil sat in the bottom of it, would this contribute to it?

The car still runs fine for now so its only the smoking thats a prob

I'm wondering if I should attempt a rebuild myself with some of the DIY kits I've seen, can't be that hard can it? lol
