Oil in air intake, ST185

Today i pulled the straight air intake off the turbo, and in the bottom was a whole lot of oil in a puddle along the bottom of the intake. I know that its not a ringlands problem etc because I installed an oil catch can on the PCV breather with clear hose so I can see if any oil mist makes it past the catch can (which none has- the hose is perfectly clear).

This leads me to think that my turbo is due to be re-conditioned? I cant think of any other possible way the oil could have got in there.
