kubota S10 in Maryland

I got all the cooling system connected up and air bled out. I had to pressurize the system through the puke vent and then bleed the air off. While running I noticed something spit at me, and determined it was from the pressure side of the turbo. It is a used K03 off of ebay. Do i need to run an oil restrictor or is the oil seals bad in the turbo.The cold side is not hooked up yet so it is not pressurizing the motor.

As far as I know oil restrictors are mostly used in ball bearing turbos. how much oil is coming out of the turbo? if the oil drain is too small that can cause oil to back up in the center section, and then leak past the seals. So a little oil in the compressor side might not indicate a bad turbo. How does the bearing feel, end play wise ?
