you need a catch can in your IC piping
if the oil isnt blowing out the exhaust side I wouldnt worry about it to much. Lots of turbos will have some blow out the compressor side and just be fine. Just keep a eye on your oil and make sure your intercooler doesnt get full of oil haha.

My first rubber elbow off the turbo has some oil around it. I checked my oil yesterday and it's about 1/2 quart low. Due to change it here within 150miles (every 3000) so I'm pleased it's not burning bad. Just check your oil and make sure it's not "add a quart weekly" or like Jeff said blowing out.
