What do you mean oil leaking from the exhaust? Is it coming out of the exhaust as blue smoke or something? How long have you had the turbo, how many miles does the engine have on it, is it stock internals? How much boost are you running. Need details.

are you sure it's oil? because often times, condensation in the exhaust piping and muffler will pick up enough soot and carbon to turn totally black, and looks like oil..
