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.
If it's a garret there are kits available to rebuild. Some even come with shaft and impellers. KKK's are not so easy to get parts for.
