The setup looks like the tubo sits really low, down at sump level. If thats the case you may not need new seals. Oil coming out of turbos really needs
to flow as close to downhill vertical as possible. It wont travel horizontal very well at all, and even worse if it entering the sump below the oil
level. My turbo set up in my kombi sat higher than this one appears and I had to use a modified dry sump pump to scavenge from the turbo. When I put
it in my fastback I modified the exhaust and it sat even lower at oil pump level. The scavenge pump didnt work at that height so I had to make a
little sump that sat below the turbo and scavenge from there.
Not trying to knock the system, just saying the turbo could be in better nick than you think.
