Default Anyone ever experience oil leaking from the turbo halves but not blowing through to the IC?

I brought the car in for some other work and when it was up on the hoist, there was oil on the belly pan and the bottom of the driver's side turbo was clearly wet with oil. The oil is not leaking bad and the volume is not down low on the dip stick. There's no oil on the ground in my garage.

They took off the hose going towards the driver's IC and it was dry, there's no oil getting past the turbo and towards the intake into the engine.

They checked different lines and stuff and it doesn't appear to be those. It looks like the turbo is leaking between the halves of the turbo.

Any thoughts or experience with this? It's a K04 that is less than a year old.

Thanks.
