Removed my IC pipe today to fit the BOV. Found that just beyond the throttle body butterfly there is a puddle of fuel/oil mixture also entire inside of pipe has thick residue. Is this normal. It is due for a service soon, would they check the mixture?
P.s the car seems to run fine.

I think this can be caused by the oil vapor from the take of from the oil pot. I have fitted a oil catch tank to by pass the oil vapor being fed back into the inlet side of the induction system.( this also has the effect of lowering the octane of the fuel). I have also got a stainless hard pipe ( with the bov fitted to it) and since fitting the catch tank, no oil residue has been present. I am sure i could be wrong, maybe speak to Matt FP or someone at the factory. Who is a bit more in the know than me !!
