Nothing is wrong. Your clamp is probably just not tight enough. These motors are VERY notorious for eating oil from the turbo through the intake piping. If you were to completely remove the bottom clamp from the second IC (the inlet side of that IC), the one on the drivers side that outlets into the motor, you'd probably drain a solid pint or two of oil from it. Its nothing to be concerned about; this is what catch-cans are made for
