I'd start with checking for any tears/rips in the orange silicone sleeve of each factory Electric Blow Off Valves to start with. Then go from there.

Pull the engine cover off, a little further back from the front driver side spark plug is a little black hose that is known to blow off the charge pipe. If that happened to yours, put a clamp on it after you reattach it.

normal to have some oil in them. Have you check the wastegate rod at the turbo? there is a small E clip holding it on and have been known to come off. Also did you locate the hose with the zip tie in the pitcher above?
