R56 2011 noise maker line has some oil

Changed out my thermostat housing and hpfp and decided to pull the noisemaker. They just add extra piping and noise, and was going to put a freeze plug. Well anyways, I bent it out of my way while working on the previously mentioned and later noticed some oil dripping out. Is this normal? I would assume not,... but wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks

Since it's in the noise maker it most likely came through the turbo and through the intercooler. I've seen slight oily residue in all those hoses. If you're not getting error messages and no strange sounds I'd clean whatever you're putting back with Dawn and check it in a few months. You could see about a catch can I hear they might help reduce the oil.
