My wife is leaving on a trip. Was checking placement of TB tensioner arrow, just to doublecheck work done 10k miles ago. When removing upper charge pipe, air intake, noticed it was wet with oil, even a small amount of visible
liquid at the elbow...

06 NB with 88k. Assuming/hoping this is normal, but someone let me know if it isn't. Related question: are the turbos on these BEW PD cars as robust and long-lived as on my 03 ALH?
