CBV leak at turbo - serious, or ignorable? 900 1993

Just noticed a light mist of oil on the inside of the engine bay opposite my turbo, which made me realize that the triangular Compressor Bypass Valve area and bolts holding it on are getting pretty oily. At almost 200k on the original turbo, stuff like performance, gas mileage, oil consumption, etc. seem about the same as they always have. Is this something I should keep tabs on and take care of if the leak gets worse, or is it possibly something that could strand me and therefore require immediate attention? If so, has anyone had similar problems and tips on dealing with it?

Many thanks,

B
