I believe its normal to have a small amount of oil in the intake, but how much oil you think its coming out? maybe check the intercooler for a buildup of oil in there.. I'd imagine if there was a lot, it could also reduce the effectiveness of the intercooler and lead to other problems.. just a thought

Maybe take a look in the downpipe for fresh oil there also.. I suppose oil could leak out the turbine shaft seal and make smoke also.. boost pressure in the crankcase could push the oil past the seals and get burned up in the exhaust.. I'm not an expert but these are my thoughts.
