The same thing happened to me except the compressor shaft broke at the outside of the bearing so, no oil leak.
I found a DD dealer who had one in stock and drove the toad to get it. That may be a problem and you might also find one at turbo rebuild shop. The hardest part was getting my big ole carcass in the limited space. Be sure to get four new studs and nuts. Spray the old studs with Kroil before driving to get a new/recon turbo. And, the turbo is pretty heavy to lift while confined!.
Too bad this happened after all the work you have put into this trip.
