Oil on exhaust side of turbo?
 
Is this normal? It's off of a Precision turbo from a P&L setup. Oil is only on the shaft, not the blades, and only on the exhaust side.

Sorry, couldn't get the light for a proper picture but you get the idea.

Possibly oil seals leaking out of the exhaust side of the turbo. Getting any smoke from the exhaust when the turbo spools up? If not, the leak isn't that bad (yet).

Take the turbine (hot side) off and see if there is any more oil inside the housing. Also check the header on the car for signs of wet fluids to make sure its not coming from the motor. Also check charge piping pre-intercooler and your throttle body for signs of oil or burnt stains.

Here is what my turbo looked like a week after running it. CX kit with a ball bearing turbo, ran too much oil pressure for the seals. CX recommended no oil restrictor. In my case I was also only leaking out of the exhaust side.

Yeah I'm not really a fan of PTE either. It's not my turbo and it's not on the car so it's kind of hard to test it but I'll pull the housing and check the piping too, thanks TX.
