Gen5 My turbo is leaking oil

I finally bought the car, it's a 90' All-trac. My turbo seems to be leaking oil, it's not too bad, there ain't much leakage but it's there. The car exhausts a lot. Anyway, it's pulling good, it's fast enough, basically the car is in overall fair condition but for the turbo. I have a feeling the carr should be going even better and i put the blame on turbo for it. So what is actually better, to repair the existing turbo, or to buy a new one.
I'm thinking if i am to buy a new one, i might just as well buy a more powerfull one, so which are good turbos for my car.
I'm from Croatia so i cannot get my hands on stuff like Turbonetics, HKS, Greddy and such, i can get European turbos like Garrett...Any advices???

same thing happned to me, and so i just bought a new turbo from ATSracing.net. i got the ct27 which bolts right on and the internals a upgraded. just dont drive your car in that condition too long cause all that burning oil can clog up your exhaust.

you had better get a new turbo before you foul you exhoust and then you run the chance on damaging your O2 sensors as well. shop around though turbonetics has some great turbos that bolt right on. greddy is good too but turbonetics seems to be cheaper
