Oil between UIM and intake elbow

I have mainly reliability mods done to my car. but sometimes after driving for a long time to mainly austin or dallas, there is just a little bit of oil seeping thru the top between the UIM and stock intake elbow. I dont think this is normal,can someone help me out.
thank you.

between the throttle body and intake elbow?
just a little oil from the turbos i would imagine.
might be gettin time to replace or up grade them.
try tightening the 4 nuts on the intake elbow to create a better seal and see if the oil still leaks by

there is an rubber o-ring on the throttle body that u might wanna take a look @ also. could be gouged or worn

And do not forget that the crankcase ( the e-shaft is a crank shaft) gases are sucked into the #1 turbo and blown through the complete intake system.
