A little bit isn't abnormal, how much oil are you getting out of there? You may need to tap off of a different oil location, you might have too much oil pressure. Unlikely, but maybe.
You may have an oil drain problem too, if the oil isn't draining back to the pan correctly it might be pooling and leaking past the seals. Turbo might be too low, drain line might be too small, etc.

Is this a stock turbo setup or something you put on?
