oil in turbo inlet

[bladderfluid]

I recently bought my truck, a 96 f250, and was going over it, I am not very experienced in mechanics and even less so concerning diesels, but when I found oil in my turbo inlet tube, most of it old and caked but some fresh. Is this a problem or a normal thing. Also, I never hear my turbo spool up, the truck is completely stock, the only thing i notice is in 2nd gear when it starts to hit 2000 rmps I hear a wooshing, like a lot of air is moving. Any ideas on either question?

the oil is normal, thats from the crankcase vent system...

as far as the turbo...u say you dont hear it, but is the power good??

Power is fine, its a little sluggish in 2nd but as close as i can tell it pulls like a stock engine should.

Most OBS turbos are hard to hear over the engine noise. If you add a high flow intake and filter and exhaust you will be able to hear it. When I was running my stock filter and box, I could only hear the turbo when I got close to 2500 RPM.
