Is it bad if there is a little bit of oil it seems in the tube running to the throttle body?

I took out the throttle body this afternoon and cleaned the tb/replaced the gasket. I noticed a little oil in that tube running to the tb and a little gunk not as much as I thought in the tb.
Is this bad? I searched around but didn't exactly find much.

Thanks guys

Normal side effect of a working PCV system.

ok as long as it isn't a side effect of an aging one then I'm happy.

oh and btw Nate, did Ben ever ask you about transferring files, he said you sent him a big file through yousendit, I'm trying to send a 600+mb file to him and I noticed you had to be a member to send anything bigger than 100MB.

Are you a member or something?

Thanks Nate
