No, that's normal. If you don't want this to occur, you need to place an oil catch can.

fixed

What I think when you think I care
oil in the housing is not normal. the seals in the turbo might be going out

yeah, you dont have an oil breather in your intake so it can only be oil weeping from the seals inside the turbo

yep thats what happened with my CT20B...oil outside the mouth dead seals

What I think when you think I care
will the realief valve work as the oil breather?
NO

Buy an oil catch can they arent very expensive, If you block the crank case vapors you'll learn what a smoke screen looks like
