AFAIK (via the wiki) oil gets into the breather in two ways, one via the rings as a mist (blow-by). All engines have this to a small degree, so it is not unusual to find a small amount of oil in the breather. The other source is a leaking turbo oil seal. As you have more than a mist I imagine it's the latter.
