blue tinted white.... how much would it take to replace the seals, roughly, if thats the case? and any kind of "test" to narrow it down?

Check you IC piping for oil.If you have a lot then chuck the Turbo and get something else.

Check for a lot of blow by.Compression test Check you pcv lines to see if there's a lot of oil and air coming out.

Leakdown test would be best
