Default Help For buy one s40t4 2000

Hello here,
I'm still searching for the s40 t4 Since the other lost a bad move from the seller.
The s80t6 was discarded by the box. Now I found another manual s40t4, manual there are very few in my country. 2 years ago it was unemployed since it belonged to his father, and it failed, he thought to keep it and repair it.
He says that his mechanic told him that he had a bad turbo.
The car physically looks very good, aesthetically and interior, as it was well cared for.
Now the problem is that oil reaches the spark plug and it fails, as the mechanic said before that it was the turbo. It has 175 thousand km, what do you think?
I don't think it's just the turbo that fills the spark plugs with oil, surely you have to make a bigger adjustment to the engine.
If you want, I can put photos of the white interiors in black leather.
I don't want to get a headache and have the car stopped for 2 3 months.
What do you think? can it just be the turbo? it is something difficult to prove.
very very thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "oil reaches the spark plug" do you mean oil fills the spark plug well[s]? in which case I'd suggest it's possibly the camshaft cover gasket[s]/rubber "o" rings where retaining bolts pass through.If you mean oil gets onto the electrodes within the engine then I'd suggest it has deeper engine problems valve stem oil seals/piston rings/worn cylinder bores?

If it is oil in the spark plug wells it could be something as simple as a new oil filler cap seal. As Dippydog says. If it is on the electrodes, could need a new engine.
