oil in air filter pipe

[oldman]

Hiya,
I had to change the harness bridge yesterday, what fun, and noticed a liquid in the pipe just past maf of the air filter.
Put fingers in side and rubbed and felt like oil.
Well it had the colour and texture of oil anyway.

There was very little, and not sure if i should be worried about it or not.

Probably just muck from the crankcase ventilation, which vents into the air inlet.

sounds fair and not serious from that, but have no idea on mechanics of a car.

i followed a guide to do the job i did and was chuffed it started again.
