There is a weep hole in the bottom of the intercooler, by design. As a turbo ages, the seals begin to wear out and some oil vapor passes into the air intake side. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the turbo is about to die.

Sure, you could have the seals replaced, but that costs more than an occasional quart of oil. When you start having dollar bill size puddles from the weep hole, it will be time to get the turbo worked on.

The turbo oil drain leak is very common, but that oil drips down from the outside of the turbo and spatters on the ground directly under the engine. That is an easy fix and fairly cheap. It is DIY, if you have a good torx driver.
