Default Oil from throttle body hose?

99.5 a4 1.8t FWD, Where the hose meets the throttle body there seems to be oil coming from it, any suggestions on what it could be? Is it coming from the intercooler? thanks

Most likely way too much oil coming from the crank case breather which usually means too much blow by from the piston rings.

Might want to check the turbo outlet hose to see how much oil is there and then clean out everything between the turbo and the throttle body.

Alright thanks a lot i took off the throttle body hose and there was barely any in there the intercooler outlet didn't have a lot either took off another hose to the intercooler wasn't a lot and the inside of the throttle body had barely any oil it was more outside of it then anything, will have to take off the turbo outlet hose to see what thats like though.
