Default TB-Plenum gasket fix...

Ok, so here I am doing the 'ol TB-Intake Plenum gasket mod. I decided to pull the Intake plenum off because I noticed it was dirty. I pulled it out and realized the outlet (the part mating with the TB) had a coating of oil debris. Correct me if I'm wrong...but there should be no oil in the intake path correct??

I've taken some pictures, but I left my USB cable at a friend's house, and she won't be home until late tonight.

I'd appreciate it if someone could explain to me why there is oil residue here.
Thanks,

the oil is ok, the breather hose sucks cranks fumes into the intake
