Oil in intake

Currently running R34 N1 turbos AA403, noticed some oil in the intake, though I have already installed a nismo catch can. More than likely the front seals I just ordered some .8mm restrictors. But whats the chances of there being oil in my intercooler and it's blowing back into my intake via the bov recirculation?

You need to clean out any part of the intake system where oil can pool. It's likely your intercooler is holding a lot of oil. 

Correct me if i'm wrong but the turbos should already have a restrictor built in should they not? Also if oil was pushing out the front seal it would be pushing out the back seal and pumping white smoke out the exhaust.

How many litres is that can? It doesn't look big enough to allow a vent filter on the top, if it fills you will have a potentially dangerous mess.

Im in the process of ordering a intercooler from plazmaman, going to clean out all the piping then. The car should have stock oil restrictors. Bought a set just in case. The nismo catch can, is  recirculated back into the oil pan via the oil return line on the rear turbo.
