Time for a new turbo?

Car's a 96 CSE that's blowing bluish smoke from the exhaust. Coolant level isn't dropping, so I guess the heads OK. I just want to make sure it's the turbo and not something else, so i'm asking here
I pulled off the down pipe a little and looked in with a mirror. The exhaust turbine didn't look bad -it didn't look oily or anything. I pulled ff the inlet pipe from the air filter and it had oil in it. With the pipe off I could see the pipe from the turbo down to the intercooler. That hose was soaked with oil. Nothing obviously dripping on it, so I guess the inlet side seal is shot and leaking oil on the compression side and into the oil cooler. Does this make sense?
If it's the turbo seals, can this be replaced with the turbo still in the car? If so, how? Or does it have to come out?
Do I need to clean out the intercooler? I guess it would have to come out, and I'd rinse it out or something.
Thanks.
