Here's a picture showing a little oil pooled at the intake to the turbo on the fresh air side. Is this normal? Would this little bit of oil signify that the turbo is blowing oil into the engine? I did try the axle(?) of the turbo for excessive play. It moved very slightly - Im guessing its not worn too much. Let me know what you all think.

Thanks Bert - NH
