Some oil in the intake tract is common the question is how much your seeing. Any smoke from exhaust under boost? That is a better sign of seals in the turbo going. Also....do you mean there is oil leaking outside the intake???? If so I would tighten up those connectors. Oh yeah and wait till ya check the bottom of the IC, there will probably be a small pool of oil there.

Im not sure if my problem is the same way but I just got my Rx7 and when the car is running it drips a very tiny amount of oil but it looks like its dripping from the general area of the turbos. But there is no smoke on acceleration or deceleration and i mean I dont know if it would mean anything but I stuck my finger in the abv hose that runs the blow off air into the air box and I didnt feel any oil so idk. Where else should I check see what the problem is?
