The pressure inside a turbo tends to stop so much oil being used, if he's used thin oil it most likely appears worse than it is.
Just let it idle for a few mins when started just to ensure a nice supply of oil.

You have been told before by both me and Stu, and i will tell you again
ALL TURBOS HAVE OIL SEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you think the oil flows through the core but doesnt pass into the exhaust and compressor housing because "its not allowed to"
I might go and talk to the brick wall it will probably listen/understand/talk more sense than you do.
