Check turbo outlet to cooler if there is wet oil there then the turbo seals have gone. Dry tacky oil mist is normal with a turbo that has done mileage.

If its in compressor side to intercooler then yes its a turbo rebuild.
I would recommend CR Turbos no hassle and good service.
Make sure you follow installation instructions and fully clean you intercooler out and all boost pipes and intake manifold.

Just in case a blocked breather has caused things to get awry I would check your breather hoses. Are you running a stock breather system or a modified one? If the latter, what is it and how has it been plumbed in?
