Probably from the CHRA of the turbo - shaft seal leaks arent uncommon, especially with higher mileage on a stock, original turbo.

It is normal.

Though the PCV valve that sits in your inlet tube may be getting gunked up, I suggest you change that, along with any other broken pieces of PCV. These cars use a blow by system, there will always be oil in the intake tract. From your photos you have a relatively normal amount of oil in there.

If your CHRA was going bad you'd have significantly higher amounts of oil than that.

yup, it's normal. Saw your PM, clean everything and it will build back up after a year. But it's definitely a lot worse looking if it's never been cleaned up or replaced.

Well, millions of years ago, some **** died, got trapped in some ****, turning into some sort of ****. Millions of years later, some dudes dug the **** up with some digging ****, processed the **** with some ****, and put the **** in a plastic bottle. Then, you bought the **** and added it to your engine, where some shitty seal took a **** and leaked the **** inside the engine to where it it now...

Ain't that some ****?
