it's normal

 

As long as you aren't losing oil at a rate that concerns you, no worries.

When mine got to a quart every 1,000 miles - my turbo got replaced. Ordering a rebuild kit to repair the K03. (K04 replaced it)...

 

Mine just got some oil in there now at 280k KM's. Never had oil there at all previousely. Turbo has very low miles, maybe 40k KM's or so and seems like it's OK, so I don't think it's that. My engine also never looses too much oil, maybe half a quart or so evey few thousand KM's.

 

Yeah, I'm not losing much oil at all between oil changes. I just wanted to verify that it was somewhat normal. My original turbo has almost 90K miles on it and seems to be doing well...but in the back of my mind I'm planning on having to replace the turbo at some point in the future. I always make sure to do a turbo cool down after driving somewhat hard...but I've only had the car for the last 20K miles. Who knows if the previous owner even knew what a turbo was.

 

OP, it's coming from the PCV tube that goes into the TIP. If you have oil after the turbo, then you might need to be concerned. Before the turbo, it's coming from somewhwere else.
