    like everyone's said, to be honest i doubt there is a whole lot wrong with your turbo. this oil is just the airbourne oil that goes back into your system because there is not catch can. at 5000k's on my wrx there was oil (only a little bit) in the piping.
    with the catch can, unless you want to follow regs, just send the return pipes (crankcase etc) straight into a vented catch can, and then block off the pipe that goes from the crankcase etc into your inlet. that way ZERO oil can get back into the system.

    i wasn't to stress about it i was just wondering what the go was. I don't intend on putting a catch can in as i couldn't be stuffed , i was just wondering if that is where they go because for some reason i thought catch cans had to do with water and oil.

    thanks
