Default Oil in turbo

I took my hose to my air filter today and there was a little bit of oil on the edge away from the wheel, so it was dripping into the air filter tube. What could this be? Broken seal?

Either that or you've got

A. To much oil going into the turbo
B. Not enough draining from the turbo

Same thing happened to me. Switched to a -3 from a -4 feed and problem solved.

I got a little oil in my ic piping from the turbo to the intercooler.... nothing major, but I have ghetto oil return line (rubber hose) that could be it... and I fill it up with 4 and 1/4 quarts... I think thats a mistake and attributing to the leakage...

a SMALL amount of oil in your I/C piping is ok, excess amounts is bad though.
