Default Oil in compressor housing, GT35E couple questions.

How many of you guys have experienced oil on the compressor side of your turbo?

My turbo has around 1000 miles and still is perfect funcionality wise. But I removed my air filter the other day and noticed that oil is lining the compressor housing. Precision mentioned that I should check my oil return line and make sure that it drains properly. So I disconnected the -10 line where it connects to the bottom side of the turbo and noticed that sitting on a perfectly flat surface, oil comes up the line pretty close where it actually attaches to the turbo. Although this isnt optimal, we have the best possible drain setup. Im running the Lovefab Mini-me manifold and this sits the turbo very low.

ANy suggestions? Is this gonna cause issues ?
BTW the turbo has no shaft play and the car doesnt smoke...

it seems like a mini-me manifold is more of a pain in the *** than anything, my friend is having oil drain problems with his manifold too.... if i were anyone i would not buy a mini me id rather have a log than one
