losing oil!!!

Hi guys,

A week or two ago my friend drove my mr2, and the car was misfiring and stuttering on boost, and he drove it hard causing the exhaust manifold to glow red hot, i guess im running lean too. anyway suddenly it was puffing out oil from the blow off valve, so i was like sh*t my turbo's busted, i let the car cool down then i drove it home then after that everything was normal again. no smoke from the exhaust. but i noticed that there is oil on the compressor side and in the pipes, a little more than normal. but i kept on driving it until i checked today that the oil was only at the tip of the dipstick! and i don't have no leaks. so it must be the turbo, but it still boosts fine. what can i do about this? what is broken on the turbo is it leaks oil? is it an easy fix? thanks guys..
