Thats is typical of how they look when there is excess oil and/or unburnt fuel buildup. Not very good. Check doser is not leaky and is spraying correctly, then assume it is oil (valve stem leaky, leaky turbo, blo-by, etc. if all that was good. The picture does not show any cracking or other damage that i can see any ways. I would say spend a few hundred to have it and the DOC baked out + flow tested then checked for any cracks.
