no its fairly normal, as long as the engine isnt consuming oil and smoking under boost i wouldn't be too concerned

That's a relief, no smoke or nothing just got me worried when I saw oil in my pipes . Can I blank the return to metering unit so my breather vents to atmosphere, will this help?

Yes Mr West,thats what I did.But vent to a catch bottle,you dont want oil getting onto the roads/track,dangerous for other road/track users.
