Hi I have a 2003 Wrx hatchback and recently have noticed an increase in smoke output while idling/sitting at lights. I checked my intake and intercooler piping and i noticed a tiny bit of oil but not too much. When i leave the car running and look in the bay i can see a spot on my uppipe that looks like it has been burning oil but the general area around the turbo is smoking. If my turbo seals are failing, should i just go ahead and buy a new TDO4 or just replace the seals?
