uhm...actually i would worry iif you can pull off the hose on the turbo and you find oil rather thaN just a smear of oil...

i am having to replace the turbo on my 940t and i get no oil (to speak of) in the intercooler, but it can use up to 1/2 ltr per 100 miles from the leaking turbo seals...it just breathes it all thru the engine...

basically anything more than a haze of oil in the tubes is a turbo on the way...and thats not cheap!

you may decide its worth doing the turbo (i have) or want to pass the car on before it gets any worse (which i did think about)
