Default Twin Turbo Help--is small oily leak normal???

Very close to buying the Z06 in the video. It has a STS twin turbo and 19k miles. Not sure when turbo was installed. I was watching this video and noticed the small puddle below each muffler. Looks oily. Anyone have any recommendations? Is this normal? If you have an extensive experience with turbos, please let me know in your reply. Thanks!

looks like the bushings are out on the turbo. You can see the oil coming out of the tail pipes. In a non rear mount setup this would smoke like a b!tch when it gets hot. You can get them rebuilt, not too big of deal.
