Oil in turbo compressor housing

Hey guys,

I’m installing some new turbos on an n54 and accidentally spilled new oil into the inlet/compressor wheel of one the turbos while pre-lubing the turbo oil feeds/drains.

I would say it was around a cap-full worth of oil, not much, but I’m still a bit concerned that it may cause problems.

Does anyone know if I can install the turbos as is and treat the oil spilled into the compressor housing as ccv oil? Or could this amount of oil pose a threat to the new turbo seals, and I should take the turbo apart and get rid of as much of the oil as possible?

Thanks!
