Help I need a 850 turbo! 850

I am experiencing a growing leak behind the engine, 1qt / 200 miles, was 1qt / 1,000mi. I've looked where the turbo drains into the oil pan,where it is illustrated @ Bay 13, and the leak is higher up, I can't see exactly. I'm still getting boost, but not sure how long it will last. I would like to get a good used turbo from someone that has upgraded and has one sitting on the shelf in their garage. Otherwise the best deal I've found is FCP Groton rebuilt for $595. I do have time to get the existing blower rebuilt if it will save a few bucks.
Any recommended sources for information on R&R turbos?
