mine had the same issue
unplug the line from ur valve cover to where the intake is... put a breather at the end of the hose and block off ur intake
clean it all up and see if your getting any oil then
there was no actual oil in the hose but i was told the vapors would be going thru and causing oil there overtime...
guys on this engine in particular , the PCV inlet is the pipe from the intake arm to the head. This pipe is needed. The issue Luke speaks of , is that there is excess blowby back into the intake arm from the upper head , and its catching thru the joints of the intake arm. Removing this from the intake charge could be beneficial for his turboed setup. But the question is how ?
Luke id still start with replacing your PCV with a brand new unit. Regardless of what Hannys said you have to replace it ever 40,000k. Your car is due 3 times over ehehe.

why is it bad for the motor?
its just a breather... i dont see how it can be any different putting a breather at the end of that hose rather then having it in the intake pipe which has a pod filter at the end of it anyway
There's a small amount of oil that's blown back into my intake and turbo.
How do I stop this?
Hannys said there's trick by letting the PCV valve breath but as they don't do turbo's I'm not sure..
Thanks
Luke
So do you mean the intake going to the turbo?
From you photos your rocker breather is connected to the intake. This is fine. Usually air enters the engine via the rocker cover, but you can get flow the other way. And you can get oil in your intake. How is the rest of the PCV system run? Being a boosted setup the PCV valve may have been removed and this will promote more flow to your intake. You need to find out how the rest of the PCV sytem is setup.
