Is this a sign of bad things to come?

I was switching out my factory intercooler for a 3.5in AGP, and when I took the factory IC off I saw this on the turbo side of the IC. Looks like oil to me. Is this a bad sign or is this normal?

Connected to the Intake manifold? Never seen it setup like that on an EVO. The stock line goes from the valve cover to the air intake. This dumps all of the oil into the air intake, going through the turbo and throughout the intercooler piping...creating a mess. With the install of a catch can, you run the line from the valve cover to the catch can, and the other line from the can, back to the air intake...or block off the port on the intake and put a breather on the other side of the catch can. Thus eliminating any oil from getting into the piping/intercooler.

). Im sort of thinking the PM system might be a little screwed up as a result of the software switch for the website...

you are thinking of the PCV hose I believe. On a FI motor oil will be blown into the breather side going through the entire intake, especially under high boost.
I had the weapon R catch for for almost 2 years and it never caught anything. The only change I saw was the clear hoses starting to turn black but nothing really built up. I just would up removing it.

The WeaponR oil catch can is only good if you want flashy things under your hood, I put one in and checked with every oil change and it was always bone dry. I hear Buschur came out with a new one not to long ago that has a very clean install and actually sends the oil back to the oil pan where it belongs. should be worth checking out.
