It could be the turbo, it could also be engine blow by?? It also depends on how you rocker cover breathers are plumbed. If they plumb back to the intake pipe before the turbo (like they should) then check to see if the turbo intake pipe has oil in it. (caused by rocker cover breathers)

and once you've found where the oil is coming from, fix the leak in your intercooler.
