Oil residue in intercooler pipes/boot...normal??

When I changed my alternator out yesterday, i pulled the passenger side intercooler pipe out so i would have more room to get to the tensioner. I noticed i had a little bit of oil/residue setting in the boot. Just curious if this is normal, if not, whats the cause?

yes, normal. some do the ccv mod to eliminate the oil residue. The crank case vent vents into the intake......for some reason.

Yep. The CCV mod is on my list to stop this. My intercooler pipe connections all weep oil.
