If the turbo leaks oil, it needs to be rebuilt. The leak may be caused by a problem with the vehicle, though - turbos use dynamic (gapped) metal piston rings. They are seals, but they are pressure seals, so they don't really "leak" as much as "fail."

Sound like you have a massive boost or vacuum leak. Check all Intake piping from mass air flow meter to turbo, turbo to inter cooler to air intake on the top of the motor.
