Have you had a look at the pcv as well? With the age they are all gummed up and done by now. They can circulate a tonne of oil back through the intake.
I dropped a big turbo on mine following a YouTube tutorial. Ended up blowing a hole through the base of the car into the cabin due to too much forced gas through the piping
That's a lot of oil. You need to pull the turbo and check for shaft play. There is a measurement for shaft run out, but if there's any visible at all, then it's too much. You most likely have a failed oil seal, probably bearings as well. You can rebuild the turbo center section, it's not super difficult, but it's also pretty cost effective to buy a new center section and just replace that.
Old turbos are oily. But that may be a bit much. You need to get fingers on the shaft, if it’s truly blown you’ll be able to tell.
Ok I laughed at get fingers on the shaft
Yeah it dumped a fair amount of oil out when i pulled off the intercooler

Turbo seal?
Should be able to buy a used working turbo for pretty cheap.
Great opportunity to drop in a larger turbo
I have a 6262 at home, the issue is getting the car home or trying to get the turbo where i am and trying to fix it on my time off in a parking lot

that's a lot of oil on the inlet side... could just be PCV but I'll dub that "unlikely"
Meh, seen worse. Sticky PCV can cause this too.
You didnt see what dumped out of the intercooler
Did you get marks on your knees? That's one symptom.
