Some modify their vehicles (not necessarily NB's) by installing an oil seperator that must be emptied every once in a while in the CCV system to seperate the oil from the air that is circulated back into the intake system. I'd say empty the oil out and worry about getting it back together. I've been told VW engines tend to have a bit of blow-by (especially in my friends Audi with the 2.0T) so that will add a bit more oil into your CCV system.

Thanks...
I plan to empty the oil from intercooler when I put it back together. I have casually checked the turbo and it looks fine, but I'll be making a more in-depth check before I put the head back on.
