Maybe its because its more dusty where you are & the dirt is showing up easier, But I wouldnt think that is an acceptable amount of oil... Looks a little too much.My ute is over 2 years old and have not touched/cleaned the turbo and it looks clean as the day I bought it.Im no turbo expert but might pay to have it looked at?

It is a very dusty environment where I live and I haven't cleaned my engine bay since I bought the car.I've not noticed the oil level on my dipstick dropping either, but as you can see from the pic it's not wet either.Dust just makes it look worse than it really is.
