'97 Turbo

Quick, hopefully easy question. Should one see any oil on the intake side of their turbo? I see a small amount there and was wondering if I should be worried or if it is normal.
Thanks,
Mike

It's very normal. The oil breather is on the driver's side valve cover, with a vent to the intake, so a slight amount of oil there is normal.

As Quadzilla said, a little oil there is normal. When I change my air filter I wipe out any oil residue from the intake.
