Small amount of oil coming out of breather hose?
 

K Yesterday I blew a charge pipe and upon inspection there was some small amount of oil in the charge pipe...none in the IM or the pipe connecting to the IM...Then today I had lost Vaccumm on my gauge but still read boost...so i was sourcing the prob whiich turned out to be a crimped vacuum line...well with the car on the breather hose from the valve cover would leave an oil like residue on my finger when I plugged it? and there was a small amount directly in front of the hose on the charge pipe? what could this be from? also there is some oil residue on the air filter on my turbo? what could this be from also? its not a lot but when you tough it there is some there grayish black? none anywhere else on any hoses or the block? any help appreciated?

trying to make sense of what you've said, I can only guess that you're getting a lot of oil through your valve cover breather. it could be normal, but I'm going to go with blown ring lands.

find a non turbo'd car, have it idle, take the oil fill cap off and feel how much air pulses. then do it to yours. if yours throws out a lot more air than the other car, your ringlands are shattered, much like hotrex's aspirations of ever being a real man.

well i understand the ringlands but there is no smoke...except black righ smoke coming out of the exhaust? none out of the breather or oil fill cap...and not a lot of oil is coming out of the breather hose just a little...now the oil in the chargepipes is where the turbo is pumping air back into the intercooler not the exhaust side...got me? so could this be from my turbo seal or too much oil pressure in the turbo? My compression checked out fine across the board. but i will do again tonight to make sure one more time...if my ringlands are gone my compression should be toast right?

compression test will answer your question of ringland issues for sure.
