someone please tell me this is normal.

I removed the top of my VI today and I noticed an oily residue on the inside od my manifold. I also noticed this on my old manifold.
The first thing I thought was ring blowby but then I thought there was no way oil could get there due to the vaccum. I also don't have the valve cover vent connected to my midpipe. so there should be no oil entering there. I am puzzled. the car is running flawless and very strong. Is this normal? Once again this is a liquid not carbon.

Is the most accumulation towards the left side of the manifold? I have this and Dave B has noticed it too. I'm also puzzled as to how oil is getting up in there.
