turbo question

I'm removing my turbo to replace the up pipes, and seal up exhaust leaks. I noticed a small amount of engine oil at the spider, when I removed my air pipes to and from the intercooler. I was not expecting to find any engine oil in my intake, is this something I need to be concerned about?

Most likely just residue from the crankcase ventilation system.
