Blown turbo seals

Is there anyway to replace the blown turbo seals or am i better off just getting a new turbo?

Btw i only think the turbo seals are bad, is there anyway to check easily?

Some turbos can be rebuilt, but what evidence do you have that they are worn?

Keep in mind that a turbo "seal" is nothing more than a piston ring (similar to your pistons). This means they aren't really seals as much as flow reducers. Their primary purpose is to reduce blow-by flow, not stop oil. If you have an oil leak I would focus more on the quality of your oil drain and crankcase pressure.
