IMO, the turbo doesn't look bad. That oil is most likely blowby that gets into the intake from the valve and/or crank breathers that vent back to the turbob inlet hose. If the turbo were leaking oil it would end up in front of the compression blades.

Also, your downpipe looks like ass. I don't know why it's welded like that... looks like a crappy repair job, or just a low quailty home-made piece.
