This is common from what I understand. It's a result of crankcase ventalation (you know, PVC valves). I know of a product out there that will stop this. If your interested check it out at Stealth Automotive (stealth-automotive.com). Maybe somebody else will chime in on this, but I'm pretty sure this is the case.

I have this same problem on my boot except I think mine is a much larger crack or hole, going to pull the whole pipe off tomorrow and check the pip and boots for defects, theres a nasty whistle coming from it, but if the blue boots are torn how much are they to buy

Well, after reading this thread I decided to go out and check my boot coming off the turbo since it had oil on it. Yep, sure enough, boot has about a 2 and a half inch crack/split. I have about 60,000 miles on the truck, so I guess it's under warranty. However, i've had to pay a $100.00 deductable every time I have a repair. Wonder if I can just get the parts for free and do the repair myself

Check the price of the part before taking the truck in. You might find it is cheaper to buy the part and install it yourself and skip the warranty.
Unfortunately I dont think you can buy much for these trucks under $100
