Oil in throttle body and intake tube

Hi Guys,

Considering I have an RX catch can, what would cause oil buildup in my intake tubing and throttle body?

I swapped out throttle body's this weekend for a ported one (which I've noticed ZERO improvement with in terms of the dead spot and throttle response, but that's a whole other issue to deal with), and during the process I found somewhat-dirty oil in the oil body and intake tubing that I had to wipe down with a paper towel. I had gotten the catch can at pre-1000 miles before I even had the intake, but they're not directly in sequence with each other anyway so I'm not sure if that matters.

Is some oil buildup around there just natural, or could there be an issue that I need to insect?

Thanks!
