Oil in my exhaust?

I changed my exhaust back to stock this weekend and noticed all this oil in my exhaust pipe. I have always had to put oil in my car and I've ran it below the oil limit a few times =(. I was wondering what the cause if this? That isn't normal for me to be losing oil like that. The only mods I've had was helixBOV, uppipe, and turboback exhaust. Can someone help me figure out what would be wrong? thanks!

If it is my turbo, is there anything I can do to maybe fix the problem? Gasket or something? I have an uppipe that was installed by gruppe-s about 3 years ago. I'm scared that I may have screwed up my motor. I don't want it to blow or do anything dumb anytime soon.
