So, I noticed my dv is covered in oil. I cleaned it off, and 1 week later same thing. I have not noticed any drips under the car. And I also don't see any leaks underneath the car or on the back of the engine. I have 153,000 miles on my mkv gti. Is my turbo going out?

the rear pcv port (aka oil vapor) dumps into the turbo inlet, which goes right past the dv
Can u post a picture of it?

You can see the exhaust turbocharged gas outlet is attached to the valve cover which turns into crankcase breather connected in the second pic.

normal. There shouldnt be oil on the outside of the valve but if you remove it there will be oil on it
Mine wasn't 'covered' in oil, but had a significant amount of oil in connector for some reason. This was when I replaced it about 4 years ago.
I noticed the oil was coming from one screw so I backed the screw of any re-tightened with as much force as my plastic allen multi tool could provide and I've been checking every few days and there is no oil now. I had no boost leak so I'm not sure how the oil was getting out.
