Is it normal.......

To have oil residue inside the CAC pipe?

Doing a powersteering pump and pulled the CAC pipe and there is oil residue on the inside of it. I am assuming I am going to need some turbo work in the near future if it isn't normal.

Unless you do a PCV re-route, I think that is "normal". Something I'd like to do but worry my smog tech would catch

It's normal, but don't let that stop you from upgrading to a Powermax...

Noticed the same thing when I pulled it off to swap the t-stat today, it's not any worse than when I had it off earlier this year to R and R the HPOP so not gonna get too worked up about it.

its pretty normal to have... as long as its just a film with a small pool in the ridges/crevices of the pipes or where the boot connections are at your ok.. now if you pull the hose off and a river runs out then you can start to worry...
