Default Oil between compressor and exhaust housing

I just noticed today that there is oil residue between my compressor and exhaust housing. Could this be bad turbo seals? My car does not smoke at all and is not using anymore oil than i did before it was boosted.

I was thinking maybe my oil return may be leaking.
