Dirty Turbo
I just got done changing my oil, and every time I do that I take the intake tube off that goes from the air box to the turbo because its the easiest (and cleanest) way for me to get the oil filter off...it also lets me inspect the turbo a bit. The past few times I've noticed that the intake of the turbocharger is dirty...it looks kinda like oil, but the closer I look, it looks almost like a carbon deposit of some sort...should I be worried about anything here?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Most likely it is excess oil being pulled off your filter. Mine always has some on the turbo impellers and a drop laying on the machined lip of the turbo. I doubt it is your turbo seals leaking.
