Oil around the turbo and even intercooler can be common,

If it's still holding 12PSI and boosting correctly without much smoke then your fine IMO

not to worry unless your getting smoke out of your exhaust, there is a breather pipe that connects from your rocker to your turbo inlet i`m pretty sure thats where this excess oil comes from. ive fitted an oil catch can to reduce this :thumleft:
