Personal preference. Most people would never find that, or care once it was found. You could drive for years and likely never have it become a big deal. For me, I would probably go looking and try to get it cleaned up. I really like working on stuff and keeping everything in top shape. It’s likely just the o ring on that charge pipe, but I’d confirm it’s not pooling oil and do a proper diagnostic. Good luck!

How would I do a diagnostic? Pull it apart and take a look inside?

That’s it to start. If you find something you may need to go further. If it’s just a light coating of oil, clean it up and reassemble. Turbos should last ~100k miles. Some don’t make it and some go a little longer.

Mine was the same as yours, I have 89k miles and its a small seep. I did take it off and cleaned around the sealing area.

Yeah I cleaned it, doesn't seem like a big leak, was just wondering if it was had or if it's mostly normal. Jeep runs fine.

Its an normal abnormal. I wouldst worry about it, I just replaced the intake manifold last week on my jeep, Im going on a long road trip soon and was sweating the carbon / oil build up on the runners, (too many utube videos) anyways my old intake manifold was in good condition and certainly didn't need replacement. But, I can breathe easier now. The GEN iii have fixes that the GEN i and GEN II had issues with.
