Quick one....

The inside of the intake manifold (behind the butterfly) seems to be coated in a layer of black oil. When you put your finger in there it comes out black! Engine was recently dropped into a Triumph Spitfire and as far as I'm aware all hoses, breathers etc are where they need to be. Is this normal or is it pulling oil unnecessarily from somewhere?
