How much oil leak is normal?

[RainsFather]

At 10k miles I decided to have a look at the spark plugs. When pulling the pipe coming from the rear turbo I noticed quite a bit of oil in it. Since the rear turbo doesn't have any connection to the pcv system it has to be turbo oil seals leaking. I took my to the dealership and showed them all of this. They kept the car for over a week and then said it is perfectly normal. None of my previous turboed vehicles leaked "normally". Is this something it normal for these engines? If so, how does this not completely ruin the longevity of the engine? Any help would be appreciated.

Not normal.  New dealer needed.  Perhaps Lincoln dealer.

What kind of vehicle? I don't see anything in your signature or an intro page.

How much oil is "quite a bit"? Is it pooled and dripping out, or was it a film? Was it the coolside intake or coolside outlet pipe where you noticed the oil? EDIT: Probably the outlet, since you said you removed it to access bank 1 plugs. Any sign of oil on the cool side inlet or is it all outlet side?

Are your BOV's still plumbed into the intake piping? I've seen pictures of the front BOV dripping oil, not sure if this is common on the rear. They can tend to recirculate oil that is already in the intake.

Are you using an oiled air filter (like K&N)?

SHOdded is probably right, I just like to over-analyze things.
