Question Turbo Leaking oil??

I got back from a performance shop today and he looked at the red tube from the solenoid that connects below the throttle body had popped off from the pressure. he told me that it looks like there is oil on the connector and the reason is that the turbo is leaking oil. i also recently took out the stock intake and found oil sitting at the bottom of the intake box. Do i have anything to worry about? is the oil from the intake from excessive filter oil (i just bought the car a week ago) ? im able to push about 15-16 psi

Its probaly just oil blow by oil..Meaning under high boost conditions oil will get blown through 2 places off the valve cover(V/C)..One is through the PCV valve sitting on top passenger side of the V/C. It blows oil through the PCV valve, through the line ist connected to the top of the throttle body (TB). Then gravity takes effect and pulls the oil down from the TB through your cold side pipe and eventually sits at the bottom of the pipe of the FMIC..I'm assuming you dont have a catch can(CC). Which is why oil is visible on the red line nipple. A CC will stop some of the oil, but not all......As far as the intake box. Oil just gets blown thought the line that sits on top of the drivers side of the V/C that connects to the intake box.....Whewwwwwwwwwwwww................

ok as long as i have nothing to worry about. I took off the intake and felt the fins inside the turbo and i felt dry to me. So all seems good.
