I opened it up, and it had a fair pool of oil, however. You're saying this is definitely the seals. Right?

Granted this is on a 85 300d, so your car may be different. But my wastegate was spewing oil, literally, and it turned out to be because my turbo drain pipe was stuck too far down into the oil pan. If you've fooled with that plumbing recently, you may want to recheck it. I personally would recommend just going ahead and replacing the seals for good measure. I had to remove the turbo with it in the car, and it was a bear. Good luck.
