It looks pretty dirty. I would try to clean it if you could. You may have a oil seal going out dumping oil into the intake.

The seal between the compressor/turbine. If it leaks oil you run into the chance of having a run away. Plus it traps dirt and junk and wears out your turbo quicker.

You can replace them. Make sure you buy a rebuilt kit from a Holset authorized place. The cheap Chinese kits are junk.
