Oil is from recirculated crank case vapors that are being piped back into your intake.

I don't know how much would be normal to see there.

That was among my first thoughts but, like you, I'm not sure what an ok amount might be. All else is running fine and no cel.

It's exactly what m1919 said...I wouldn't worry.
You can try to clean it, you can leave, doesn't really matter either way.
You could install an Oil Catch Can to minimize it, that's about it.

Yea same deal with me. Installed two catch cans. The one on the pcv collected a significant higher amount compared to the intake.

Or just put a breather filter on it like the one from RR racing and get the CF intake tube with K&N Filter!
