What hose is this, sweating oil?

N54 looking front the front of the car, the right side hose looks like it is sweating oil or something. Normal? What could be?

It looks like charge pipe to intercooler connection. Your charge pipe is likely full of oil from crankcase vent system. Check also oil filter housing for leaks. It's right on top and may drip.
