Lots of oil... 700 1987

Car is running fine, idling roughly. Tonight I opened the hood and found the turbo covered in oil. No blue smoke from the tailpipe, so its not burning oil. Looks like the oil is coming from the rubber hose between the turbo and the pipe to the intercooler. Have I blown the seals in my turbo?

    I had an 87 760 turbo , and believe, from the rebuild,
    (mine)you will find an o-ring failure from the turbo oil-
    return- pipe. If I'm not mistaken, blowing a turbo-seal
    generates LOTS of blue smoke.(exhaust)It always did on marine
    engines, anyway.
    best of luck!
