Oil mist in the pipes is all normal and nothing to worry about. Wear as you describe it/I understand it could be down to the wrong oil having been used - normally these engines don't suffer with such problems when properly maintained. Make sure you're using the right oil for your car by going to one of the oil manufacturer sites or eurocarparts and putting in your reg nr. You'll also need to know if it's on set (every 9300miles/annual) or variable interval service plan > this makes a difference on which oil to used.

Although as it's probably your first time cleaning your compressor you could use this with th epipes disconnected turning the shaft by hand:
