Turbo spitting oil!!

Here's my problem, my turbo has high mileage,but no shaft play whatsoever. So when i rebuilt the engine i kept the stock turbo. But when installing my WRX I/C i found a lot, i mean a LOT of oil in the intake.

Could it be the turbo seals, since i have no shaft play i tought the seals where good.
OR
Could it be the crankcase breather connected to the intake that shoots oil into it.

Any feedback will be welcome, thx guys Mat

The seals could go bad with no play. Play is the bearings.
I bet it's just the crank breather. If it was the turbo it would be smoke screen time. Big smoke screen from my turbo experience.
