sounds like the same as mine which got considerably worse since the de-cat, pretty sure its nothing to worry about though, you would probably be able to tell if oil was coming through the turbo and all the way down6 or 7 foot of exhaust as this would be extremely hot and would burn the oil giving off nasty blue smelly smoke.
