I would wait till you see smoke when starting from a stop coming out the exhaust (and that side of the turbo).
A small amount of oil is normal in the turbo output(going to intake). I wipe it out a couple of times a year when I clean the whole intake plumbing. Pull the boot off every couple of weeks and only if there's a significant leak would I replace the turbo.
Definitely replace the turbo when you see the cloud of smoke out the exhaust side.
