Cleaned throttle body today and noticed what looked like a few drops of oil where the body connected
to the turbo manifold.
Normal?
Looked inside the manifold and there appears to be a light coat of "something." It's brownish and very thin.
Throttle body was pretty dirty. Cleaned as per the example given here.

That's just a band-aid...>>
For a bad PCV system. Had one on my car for years and barely trappd any oil.
All TT's have oil in the intake...Combination of turbo seal (potentially) but mostly PCV system..

RU saying the TT's PCV system is "bad" or the turbo seal might be bad?
Plan is to eventually re-build the PCV line system (just follow the post here), but not on the immediate list.
There was just a tiny bit of oil...just something I noticed is all. Smelled it and it did not smell burnt or anything. But, I really don't know diddly about it do don't know if it's normal or not.
You say "all TTs have oil in the intake." If that's so, then I guess I won't worry about it for awhile.
Thanks (both to Steve and PracTTical).

If seals were bad, you wouldn't see the car behind you, according to my
experience. Occasional James Bond like cloud of oil smoke obliterating the view of the car behind.
By the way Gpopshop.com rebuilt it for 550.
