Default oil found here in turbo now!! is it definatly turbo going??

hi guys can you please click on the link to view pictures.

http://www.fiestaturbo.com/forums/vi...320696#1320696

right just starting to dismantle my fiesta rs, ITS BLOODY HOT OUTSIDE!!

and taking this pipe off there was oil lying in here where my finger is pointing to, little puddle of it

is this defiantly indicating the turbo is going? also in previous posts when i took the crossover to intercooler pipe off where the dump valve is, there was quite a bit of oil forming here. BUT THERE IS HARDLY ANY PLAY IN THE SHAFT ITSELF?

i have changed the stem seals and cleaned out the breathers and am starting to get a puff of blue smoke creating as well when i revv up! psi was 150 across all cylinders as well.

many thanks guys!

Are you running a standard airbox?

if so it could be the engine breathing heavilly and sucking the oil through
