if it's running ok don't worry,it's normal to find oil in the inlet side,due to the breather system,
although it shouldn't really leak from hoses,if oil can escape,then so can boost air pressure.
depending on type,you may need new seals,and/or clamps on the joints that are leaking,
though it is common to see a few drops here and there,
