turbo leaking oil...Maybe

Just got the car about 4 months ago and I’m starting to notice that there is a lot of oil coming out around all of the intercooler pipes just wondering if this is normal or if the turbo is on its way out

    It could be the pipe that goes from the cam cover to the intake (oil breather), I got a catch can set up but it stil gets oil in the intake pipes.

    there is a oil catch can there already so it can't be coming from anywhere else can it.

    Normal, just the turbo sucking in crap from the crankcase

    /\ yes eventually the fins in the cooler will be covered in oil mist and it wont cool the air as it should
    fit a proper catch can and it should be sweet

    I got a monza one its alright, you could just let the cam cover hose vent to atmosphere so the gunk dosent go through ur engine ??

    /\ not a good idea, some cars idle like poo poo if you do that plus can get defected
    get any catch can that is internally baffled not just hollow inside
    if it is hollow then use some steel wool in it (steel wool will soon get covered in oil and shouldnt rust)
    make sure you get the right hose sizes for them if the inlet and outlet hoses size are small the car will blow smoke/idle funny
    cheers
