oil residue is ok in there matey, its normal when the car is breathing it just takes a bit through
its bad if there is alot in there and theres blue smoke from the exhuast... turno seals if so!

the turbo is leaking a small amount of oil the seals are on their way out i think there is some smoke when the car is left idling for a long time
