Turbo going out? Need advice?

Hey guys I have a 07 e92.
I was looking over my car while changing the oil yesterday looking at the downpipes and the rear turbo. It had oil around it. It was before the oil change so I haven't touch it yet. I have wastegate chatter ONLY on cold starts.

Turbo siren has been going on slightly even when warm too.
Now I'm stuck. Lol. The car runs smooth and holds boost well. I have white smoke out of my exhaust when I stop at a red light also. It's more lately. When I rev it up they don't sound like they used to too. Chatter noises.

Anyways idk what to do. The car runs excellent. Literally haven't had ANY problems with it til now. (I'm about at 56k miles)

Do you guys think my turbos are on their way out??
Should I just wait til they are done or replace them now. I have a chance to replace them for a phenomenal deal so idk if I should jump on it yet.

Thanks for the advice
