200tdi turbo oil? help

[paranoid android]

hi earlier this week i took my air filter out to replace it found oil leaking from the turbo into the air filter, not alot of it but i was adviced thats the turbo oil seal going? and if im not careful i know it can become catastrophic? well i know its bad but i was thinking does anyone else know about this problem, is it common, does it need attention immediately? and whats a good price for a re-con or mine to be re conditioned? all help appreciated
 thanks

It's more than likely to be the breather putting oil into the air filter.. The air filter is before the turbo. If theres a heap of oil in the inter cooler i'd be more concerned. Is yer 200 a high milage beasty???

well theres enough oil going through the air filter to look suspect, but my 200 is on 123,000 so its early days but i will check the intercooler and come back to you, thanks for the help.
