Is My Turbo Fu#@#!

[DREW32]

pulled off my inlet pipe today to check things out as i have a minor oil leak from the feed or return pipe to the turbo not to sure,but its the larger of the two ,anyway ill fix that tomorrow but i thought id see how much end play the shaft had, now, not owning a turbo before but being a little mechanically minded i thought end play would be if you could move it back and forth a little ,or at all ,and it didnt, then i moved the shaft up and down and it moved not much but enough for me to think the bearing might be on the way out ,when i bought the car a few months back now ,the turbo plus high rise s/s manifold and 3" exhaust was all brand new so cant think why the shaft would be able to move up and down unless its supposed to , but to my thinking i reckon the bearing is fuc%#@ and if so would it cost much to get it replaced with new seals etc ,it still looks new so im stumped any ideas anyone?

up down left right is normal

forward and back are the bad ones

must have play since the bearings dont take up the slack til they are pressurised with oil..
