my 1G-GTE does that also....I'm not worried because I don't see any white smoke during extendend idling nor hard acceleration.

It is common to develop a oil build up inside intercoolers and I'd say this is just leaking out a little.
Flush your intercooler with some kind of thinners to clean this out.

Water in your oil.... Sign of something bad, like a blown head gasket...

if it smokes(white) under boost, then the turbos need rebuilding..the oil seals are probably worn...good excuse to do a single turbo conversion

turbo conversion is on the list, but the only thing holding me back at the moment is $$$$

Where is the breather hose/s from the cam covers go to? Is it connected to the intake pipe before the turbos?
If so, your problem is most likely blow by oil pumping through your intake tract. This is not a huge concern if you still have good compression in all cylinders, some blow by is acceptable, especially with turbo cars. Or of course, as has been mentioned, your turbo's could be stuffed.  but they were in really good condition when you bought them this year weren't they?
A fix for the blow-by would be to fit a 'catch can' to the breather pipe/s. This will collect any oil mist rather than cycle it back through your engine.
Cheers
