When my seals went didnt get no smoke coming on boost, it was on overrun after id give it a big un. Universal Turbos did mine seemed a good lot to deal with, had my turbo back in 48 hours as well. Cost £360 i think but did have a 360 degree thrust fitted aswell, i would think your looking at half this for just seals.

A little oil in the bottom pipe isn't un-common.
