Turbo shaft play

[Pimpin Dsmstyle]

Most people experience issues with too much shaft play. I, on the other hand, had exactly zero shaft play in any given direction. I thought this was a great thing until i recently learned that there is supposed to be a little play for the oil to make its way through. Before i tear off my turbo to check it out, does anyone have an explaination of why it would be like that? And how severe of a problem this could be? It is just a stock 14b, and i was told it is the original turbo. I am experiencing a lot of burned oil, have not determined where the problem is.
