Oil in BOV??

I recently bought HKS SSQBov and today i saw that there is actualy some oil in it, and where it was letting air, it left some oil marks. When i bought it from the guy used, it had oil in it, and now i saw it on my car. So is there sopose to be oil coming out of it??? When i had turbo xs bov, i didn't see this but i don't know. What do you guys think?

Sounds like your turbos oil seals are on the way out.

This is pretty normal for an old turbo. Normally you don't notice it, but with an open-vented BOV the oil has somewhere to escape and be seen. My previous car had an oily intake for a coupla years before the oil seals finally shat themselves in a HUGE cloud of white smoke!
