turbo issues. 7.3 powerstroke

anyone done a turbo rebuild? today i had no power, very little boost, and burned fuel something ugly. ive been thinking my turbo is gettin worn maybe? anyway, took off the pipes from the turbo to the heads, inside of turbo and pipes are covered in oil. normal? bad? then i start it, sure seems like a lot of air coming out, i put my hand over it for a little, got oily air, residue on my hand. is this normal? is there a seal out?
im going to remove turbo and check for exhaust leaks and such tomorrow, thanks
