Default turbo help! little bit of white smoke out exaust!

all of a sudden my friends car started smoking out the exaust,just a little.its a 95 mitsubishi gsx all wheel drive turbo.i dont know that much about turbo cars.any way we pulled of the hks intake and there is some fresh oil in the part right befor the impeller blade.i know there is not to be any oil in there.my other friend said it was the oil seal for the bearings.makes sense to me ,so it will suck the oil in through the turbo into the intake and so on.the car only has 70,00 on it.it runs perfect though.and only starts smoking when it gets to tempature.all the rest of us owns hondas.

proabbly the turbo seals are jsut gone old just need a rebuild on the turbo and you should be good for another 50k miles.. might as well do and upgrade on the turbo while you have it out get 18g
