Oil in the wrong place!!!

So I have been testing a new dejon spring for about 200 miles and yes it works better than the old one and now I get no more of that compressor surge sound but when I took off the intake hose I found a drip of oil inside. I don't know if it was just oil from the K&N but it looked like motor. That scared me as I would think that turbos dont leak oil inside the housing. What is the best way to check for this? I haven't seen a decrease in performance at all. I'm not losing oil either as I check the dipstick every so often. What the hell is going on?
