Oil leak from charge pipe

[Habu]

Was under the car & noticed a leak from the charge pipe. Apparently a small amount of oil in the charge pipe is ok. However, I’ve noticed a decent amount by the looks of it leaking from it. Is it recommended to install a AOS in this situation? Also, inspect the turbo etc. After searching the forum I can’t find a valid answer other than a catch can doesn’t really help and a small amount of oil is normal.

Doesn't even look like it's formed a drip so it's not leaking it's just a bit of perspiration
Reminds me of an old aircraft engineers saying with regards to radial engine oil leaks. "you only start to worry when they're not leaking oil cause that means it's run out" lol.

Gotcha. I wonder if I relief back pressure on the turbo if it'll help overall. Even a slightly bigger diameter charge pipe maybe?

It'll be oil from the PCV system.
