It is very minimal but is this normal?

I guess that is also the question. Found it unusual to have oil traces around the silicon tubes towards the exhaust manifolds. Had a quick check on the underside and it looks bone dry.

It really is very minimal - like tracing your finger across the tubes and seeing residual amounts on the tip of your finger.

The Christmas period can be a very boring period but don't worry about silly things like this.
