87 300d turbo / blowback question

He said that he has only driven it a couple of miles (less than 10) since he swapped in the new turbo. I am thinking that when the other went out it could have just blown some oil into the manifold or something. He is thinking the wastegate on the new turbo could be frozen up. Not really sure, so any ideas are great.
Most likely buying it either way as it is a pretty solid car even if I have to do some toying with it. And I really want to get back in a MB Diesel.
