Guys, I have just add an intercooler to my mk3 TD and noticed that the hose that connects to the turbo is covered in oil. Is this right or do i have a problem?

I've never taken apart an engine that wasn't covered in oil in that tube. I beleive it's mainly caused by blow by

there appears to be a cobstant supply of oil, only a small amount but constant. is this ok?
