If it is oil seals, then there is a fair chance the bearings and shafts will also have suffered some damage..... white smoke usually indicates water in a cylinder, grey-black is burning oil. With the loss of power it may be turbos........or a blown intake pipe. Needs to be checked by somebody who knows what they are doing. Turbos need to be balanced after a rebuild so yes you could fit the repair kit, but would still need specialist balancing after that.

White is oil, could also be coolant. Black is usually unburnt fuel. Blue is engine troubles, valves or piston related.

You need specialist equipment to repair and balance KKK turbos. White smoke on boost is most likely a damaged turbo, typical bad oilseal sign.
