My 1.6 td has drips of oil leaking out of exhaust manifold joint.Still runs fine. Mechanic says new turbo @ £500 + fitting costs. Anyone know if there are other causes, on inspection very little play in shaft. Are there any cheaper routes to fix.

£500 is steep.U can have ures reconditiouned for about £300(12 months warantee)Or get a new one from Germany for about £390.
And the the cost of fitting of course.
