Well if you think about it, the turbo sucks air from air cleaner and blows
it into the intake. Thus if it leaked oil it would be blown into intake, not
air cleaner. 

I would bet money the turbo seal is bad. I know that Kaleb will sell you a
bad one for $80, I bet the good ones might be cheaper.. hahahaha

intake from the air cleaner to the turbo, yes.  Actual intake from the turbo

to the head, I haven't opened that up.  Should I check there?
