oil leaking out of turbo exhaust outlet
Yea so i get done putting the turbo in, and it smokes everywhere, now i find that there is oil dripping from the exhaust outlet. does this mean my bearings and seals and gone? theres no oil on the compressor side, but the turbine side is covered. this ******* sucks, i dont have money to buy another turbo.

Doesn't sound good man. That sucks. Heres my rule of thumb with turbo. Don't start the project until you have 3 times what you think its going to cost you because something ALWAYS comes up and will be more expensive then you planned. It will probably just need a rebuild, not a new turbo all together.
