Got to poking around my motorset and low and behold: oil in the compressor outlet and more in the TB. Any comments? Turbo has no shaft play what so ever, and is a SR T25, so it is not the original turbo.

if the original breather is still connected to the AFM -> Turbo hose it's quite normal, on boost the breather gasses are all sucked through the turbo.

Whew. Cool. Thanks:) I've owned a lot of N/A cars, but this is my first turbo.
