Oil in intake system

When I pulled the intake plumbing off my truck today, I found some oil in there. It appears it's coming from the crankcase ventilation system where it plugs into the intake system right before the turbo. Is this normal? If not, any ideas on what's going on?

Pretty much normal. Oil from CCV. You can live with it, or do a "CCV Mod".

Do a search on CCV Mods, and you will see different kits and DIY ideas.
