Default Oily film on inlet trumpets

What would cause this other than a shagged turbo cant see what else leads the oil up the inlet track. Is there some sort of standard beather vent to the airbox or something?

Cheers

yer i have noticed it on a few cars (jap) but they have positive crank ventilation systems etc that pull the fumes through the induction for emissions etc

Was just puzzled as there was no such system on the cossie I got the plenum from. Just usual oil breather but nothing routing or using vac to pull the fumes to the inlet.

Ahh well maybe its the Oil Fairys
