with cold engine check for oil pooled below the butterfly of the throttle body of the intake manifold -- if the seals are leaking the oil will collect there and there will be a lot of blue oil smoke on start up...
platonoff has a good web site on the how-to (his is for an upgrade but replacement is basically the same)... the hard oil/water lines are very hard to work on -- skinny racheting box end type tools are needed...the turbo can be rebuilt (parts about $150) or have someone do it for $300-$400 -- other things to check while its apart are broken exhaust manifold studs and water pump...figure 4 hrs remove and 4 hrs install if you have good set of tools
