Do you have anytype of filter on it? At idle or at low rpm, a potential exists where a partial vacuum occurs at the compressor inlet and behind the compressor impeller simultaneously. If this condition is present for any length of time, it can cause oil to be sucked from the bearing housing through the oil seal and into the compressor housing..
However you look at it.. its bad to have oil spewing anywhere from a turbo! Id have someone look at it to see if they could rebuild it.
