305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).  CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

I know the VF38 and VF44 are definitely interchangeable. Never encountered a TD04HLA-19T, but given that they came on the same cars during different years it seems likely that that uses the same flanges as well.

 

However, I'm not sure I'd replace the turbo given your problems just because it's oil stained inside. Plenty of higher mile turbos will have some oil inside from high blowby or stuck PCV systems, etc. If I were you, I'd still pressure test the cooling system first and see where the leak is exactly. Is there no way to have a pressure tester shipped? They're pretty cheap online.
