Well i had a bit coming from when i had a vta and a small amount in the neck of the tmic spoke to Triton (Ringo iirc) and said what else can you expect from an old car.
the 1 mentioned in the htread sounds like it has been ragged everywhere all the time.

as long as its not pluming smoke out the back i wouldnt worry about it. all turbos pass a certain amount of oil past the seals

Starlet GT 1.3 forged engine, tdo4 turbo @ 1.25bar = 252bhp = SOLD :(

EDIT: Charade GTxx 993cc three cylinder turbo, 173bhp @ 1.4bar (should hit 200bhp with a larger throttle body, removing stupid high lift cams and a bit more boost)

My car does the same thing. When ever I remove the intake piping, there is a small amount of oil inside. I would say, as long as theres no blue smoke and the car isn't drinking oil then you should be fine. I've been told its to be expected on older cars.
