It's quite possible that you have an oil leak from another source that is leaking onto your turbos. Clean it all off and find out where it's coming from.

When turbos go south, the car usually smokes really bad and you will have alot of oil in the i/c pipes. If it's on the outside of the housing, it's probably leaking from somewhere else and maybe some oil was spilled.
