I was replacing some power steering lines today and took the pipe off my turbo that goes to the intercooler for easier access and noticed some oil in the pipe. Not a lot but I don't know how much blow by is acceptable.

Completely normal. The turbo is actually sucking oil vapor out of the pcv system since it plumbed 2 inches from the compressor. That is why most people do the reroute, to keep oil out of everything
