WRX 2.5 turbo seals gone
Blue smoke from exhaust at idle, and a whisp of smoke from the turbo housing. I'm guessing the turbo seals have gone south - what are my options? Does the turbo need a rebuild?
Car's on 108k and stock aside from PPP. Based near Oxford if anyone has any local recommendations as I need it back on the road fairly soon!

http://www.turbotechnics.com/ used them before and cant fault their service.
Also heard good things about cr turbos but not used them

Thanks for the help all. I've not got round to fixing this yet (we currently have no fewer than 5 cars and a trailer cluttering up the driveway!) but after its initial 'toys-out-of-the-pram' moment it's been good as gold. No smoke from exhaust or turbo housing, no oil usage, boosting correctly etc. Is it wishful thinking that it could have been a one-time thing? Or is it more likely an early sign of failure and time to get a new snail on there pronto?
