well im not sure about the missfire but airleaks will cause a misfire as Karlos said... if there is play and oil then your turbo is definately leaking. There should be a tiny bit of play but not a lot at all.
I would change the turbo as it will need doing anyways, then take it from there. One thing at a time is always best otherwise it starts to get overwhelming.
