Has the hose split?
It's unlikely a mechanical failure will cause a hose to come off unless there is a serious obstruction. All.other hoses ok, not delaminating internally? 2. I wouldn't be suprised to see oil there. Depends on turbo condition. You wouldn't want alot of oil there. If its not showing on dipstick as oil been used in wouldn't worry.

Ideal. No obvious drop in oil level, silicone hose without any splits.
I’ll leave well alone now for a few days and see how it goes👍🏻 Always nice to bounce something off someone else for another perspective, cheers 2010 2.4 TDCI Puma Defender 90 |

A lot of oily gunk enters the induction system from the breather unless you have fitted a Provent or similar, so the oil may not be from the turbo.
My induction hoses have been much cleaner since I fitted the Provent. |

I had rigged up a catch tank but initially running it without tank baffling so might pack it etc. Taking the hose off when running there’s not a lot of oily vapour but I suppose it’s hard to see and doesn’t have the vacuum effect on it when I’ve pulled the hose off to look. Good shout, I hadn’t considered that as the source though 2010 2.4 TDCI Puma Defender 90
