While getting my water pump and ofhg replaced at Z&M / ZNM auto in NJ, Matt kindly took a look around and found the front turbo seal leaking / possibly blown as evidenced by oil around the connections.

Anybody have a suggestion on how to remedy this before having to replace the turbos? I've looked into oil seal leak stop type additives which I decided against, and am looking into high mileage oils which supposedly "restore" seals rather than inflate them, such as valvoline maxlife or Mobil 1 high mileage.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
