Get a catch can.

Some oil in the intake is normal and it can be corrected with a catch can. There is a breather hose from the valve cover that allows oil to travel into the intake. a catch can does just what it sounds like, it catches the oil before it gets a chance to get into the intake. If the oil leak is extreme, you may have a blown turbo. Look at the turbo charge pipe coming off of the turbo outlet. If there is oil there, you may have a problem. If not, a catch tank should fix it. We have quite a few available and I'll link them below.
