Turbocharger oil blow by

Hi Guys,

I tried to search on this one, but didn't come up with anything.

I had to remove the airbox on my car recently to do some "leaf cleaning," as as part of that process I noticed some oil inside the throttle body.

When I noticed the oil, I traced it back to the driver side turbo charger boost tube leading to the y-pipe.

I know that some oil blow by with turbos is normal, but just wondered if it is normal for this car. Has anyone else noticed this?

My car is a 2008 and has about 7200 miles on it.

Thanks for any information.

It could be possible your seals are going. Take it to the dealer for warranty or trade up for a set of VTG's.
