clean off as much as you can then go for a drive

if it comes back then you have an issue - it might have been a once off

if it keeps coming back its usually the turbo oil seal that gets shagged

Hey thanks for that i cleaned it out and just did the same thing, thats really strange the turbo is two weeks old, but thats the only thing i got think of to. Thanks

err holy shit man... if you have oil in your cooler, like a decent amount it means one of your turbo seals is about to go...

its weird that there is none "near the turbo side" there is only 3 places the oil can enter

1. from the rocker blow by hose into the intake manifold

2. from the other rocker blow by hose into the turbo intake elbow/pod

3. from your turbo seals all through your i/c piping/ if its the rear seal it will go into your exhaust and you'll blow black smoke

so yeah do a bigger inspection, clean it up and try to narrow down where the source is, but its unlikley that you will have such a large amount of blowby on a fairly new engine...
