Had some in mine when I took it off a while back to fit KnockLink sensor and some Samco hoses, also wondered the same thing.

I hoping it's just oil vapour from the crankcase gas recirculation system. I gather if the engine is overfilled with oil this can happen and may also block the boost control solenoid.

if it's a small amount then it's pretty likely that it's just crankcase emisions
