Audi 2.7 TDi turbo issues ?

Long story - Bought some lamps for the dip beams on the car - one went and as you know the partner one tends to go pretty much after so Halfords were selling two for one. Anyways the guy offered to fit both for a tenner rather than the 7 a side cost. What a job that was drivers side required the air box to be removed to get into chance the lamp. this was done but there was a clip still loose and I had a go this afternoon to sort it out myself. Bummer. Anyways I removed the air box and got the clip reset and clipped back up properly but in the process of doing this I noted some oil on the turbo intake pipe not much and its not swimming in it but well it was a trouser soiling moment....... Is this normal or is it a sign that the turbo seals are on the way out.... Ill need to get some pictures and post them.

on the intake pipe or IN the intake pipe. Oil in the pipe is not really an issue on diesels. Petrols should be bone dry (or near as damn it).
