Oil in my intake tube?

Is it an oiled filter? If so you are putting too much oil on it and that could be the cause. All depends on if it is motor oil of filter oil.
If not you have a seal leaking inside the turbo housing, this can be very bad, if enough oil gets ingested by the motor it can cause a run away. Also the turbo is not get lubricated like it needs to be.

if you have motor oil on the compressor side you have a bad seal on your turbo, this can caused by just only the seal or you have excessive play in the compressor seal causing the leak, but in any case if its motor oil it needs to be fixed. The motor oil can eventually plug your intercooler and cause a boot to blow or destroy the compressor wheel shaft. If you replace the turbo it would be wise to have the intercooler cleaned to prevent any issues in the future.

I am thinking about having the turbo rebuilt is there any way to clean the intercooler without removing it from the truck?

What I mean by back side is that the back side and bottom of the compressor housing has got oil on it.
