1987 300TD Wagon - Oil Leak from Turbo

I knew that I had an oil leak a pretty bad one. I changed the oil in my car and I drove it about 30 miles over 3 weeks. The low oil light came on and I put the car up on ramps but did not see oil leaking from anywhere.

I had to move the car yesterday about 20 feet and I put it back on the ramps. When I looked behind the car I saw oil pouring out of the tailpipe.

It has the garrett turbo. I am pretty sure it is the turbo and that it needs to be rebuilt.

Is this something most people do themselves or should I send it out?
I actually have a spare one, but I do not know the condition of it.
