Oil In the compressor housing??

[BJ91T]

So I pulled my acordian hose of tonight and there was a film along with a little dribble of oil at the bottom in the compressor housing.. stock CT with a shimmed WG. Is it about to die??? or bad seals??? or what??? Maybe this expalins my puff of whiteish/blue smoke when I come to a stop?? No whine (that I can hear) just a spool happy CT with a decent amount of shaft play. Whats up with it?

i also smoke on decel but its random sometimes it smokes from under the hood sometimes from the middle of the car(blowing to one side) sometimes it appears to be from the exaughst. Just a quick burst not a steady stream

its most likely from spitin oil from the PCV system ( i riped out mine cause its just one big boost leak and put some cute little fillters on the tips) no more oil in my intake system

MM: Valve stem seals maybe but more than likely a bit of blowby.

Exhaust manifold studs may need to be retightened.

I had that when I got the car, exhaust stud were loose, it's highly common with the 7M.
