Do I need a new MAP sensor?

The story so far - Had a high power momentary misfire on my 1.8T when accelerating at full throttle in 4th gear at about 4,000 rpm. Yes I like to have fun occasionally. Checked the ECU fault codes and found P0106 = MAP sensor out of range. I removed the sensor a few days later and found it was wet with what looked like engine oil. I am thinking this may indicate that the turbo is leaking oil into the inlet, although oil consumption is low and there is no blue smoke in the exhaust. My car has done 80,000 miles and is on the original turbo. I have always changed the oil every 12 months to prolong engine and turbo life. Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated.
