Oil around the base of Diverter Valves

Is it normal to have some oil around the base of one of my DV's?? When I unplugged one of the hoses there was oil around the plug part of the DV as well.

You probably have a build up of oil in the charge pipe. Do you have a catch can?

No its not a big deal... It probably has a thin coat of oil which is nothing. Now if it was pouring out oil then I'd be worried.
