Turbo bearing bad?

Well, I just finished changing the passenger side front glow plug. I check all the glow plugs this morning and that one was 10.5 ohms. The rest were 0.9-1.0 ohms. When I had the passenger side intercooler duct out, I noticed that I had oil sitting in there. There was enough oil that when I turned the duct vertical, oil ran out of it onto the driveway. Does this mean my turbo bearing is bad? I have noticed lately that the engine uses about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles or so. Is this something that can be changed in the driveway? How bad of a job is it? Where is the best place to get the parts I need? If this bearing is letting oil by, does this mean that bearing could go out at any minute? Thanks for any and all input.

That is oil residue from the crankcase vent. It vents into the intake and is then burned.
