YeS, pull the turbo and vacuum it out. Inspect for damage
They are easily rebuilt cheaply, and moreover every pick and pull grifter yanks the turbos out of junk cars thinking they harvested something of value because it’s a turbo.
You can buy them for $100-150, dont pay more.
Harry’s sells them for $60

Sad to see this. A good reason to permanently remove the black plastic cover from the engine top, this way we can see for any oil leak on the engine cover and prevent timely from leaking it into the spark plug holes. By the way, the ignition coils do not seal "water tight" these holes, despite having a rubber base. I once had the bright idea to spray some water over the top of the engine, and sure enough 3 of the 5 spark plug holes got filled with water (and I lost a coil by the same)
