PLEASE ANSWER: is oil in the bypass valves normal?

i just took my bypass valves off because i have been noticing some hesitation when swtiching gears. when i removed the stock bypass valves i noticed that they are coated in motor oil! anyone know if this is normal or am i screwed? someone told me that he heard that this was a symptom of blown turbos.

AWE claims thats why Baily's don't need maintenance. That they're self lubricated from crank oil ..

vapor.

Not sure if this is the case or not, though.
