its most likely your seals. they are probably worn from wear and tear. how many miles on the turbo? how is your oil drain set out? sometimes if you dont have it draining properly, it will build up and blow the seals. hope that helps

you could get it rebuild

i'm sure its the seals. Mine did the same thing...smoked out the exhaust when the car heated up. I got a new turbo and it fixed that.

Probably costs around $200 to get oil seals replaced unless you do it yourself which it way cheaper.

I dunno what magical land you live in, but i've never seen anyone in the real word rebuild a turbo for $200
