Oil residue

I've noticed that around my turbo up on the hood and where the wiring harness runs over the top of the turbo there has be some oil residue building up. This isn't the only place its doing this it also seems to be around all of the inter cooler boots and where the inter cooler runs back into the intake should I worry about this or is this normal??? Also on another note what would make this motor run a little doggy from time to time???

Alright i will check as for the engine being doggy its not all the time theres just some times when it just feels very underpowered and you have to drive it like you mad at it for it to go. Would low fuel pressure cause this I have no way of checking but at the times when I do have to get right after it, it will run around 20 to 25lbs of boost and just wont really get up and go. But there are other time that it will seem perfectly fine and go without any problems.
