Hi if the oil is running out through the turbo I would not be driving it very far as when it goes full blown it sucks the oil into the intake side and runs on it, worse case scenario is you can't turn the engine off the car has to be stalled, bit difficult when your going down the road at warp speed because the engine has found a new source of fuel, a new unit from Audi will muller your bank balance but a refurbed unit is probably between £400-600 plus fitting.

You haven’t bought Joel’s old car by any chance?

If you want to clean turbo, then you have underlying issue. Wynns cleaner or even oven cleaners are short term fixes. Only way to clean properly is to dismantle, remove and decoke. The mechanism will have carbon build up. Removing at exhaust manifold side can be difficult as it can be corroded. Inspect turbo vanes on turbine spool for play. Nine times out of ten you can't fix, and it's sticky actuator. If you need to replace, check out https://turbo-diesel.co.uk/ I have used before and genuine Garrett turbos, at half the price Audi will charge, not including labour. Also fit new oil feed line as it leaks at union nut and of course fit exhaust gasket. A scan on VCDS will confirm if sticky actuator, especially if car has gone into limp mode.
