Passing oil in throttle body
Would you class this as the normal amount of oil being passed into the throttle body?
TDV6 6Speed 62,000mile on the clock with full dealer service history.
Ive been having intermittent low power which felt like clutch-T/C slip.
I'd prefer it to be a bit cleaner could this be the EGR's causing oil to build up? Or is it a turbo/seal on its way out?
Any help/comments most appreciated thanks.

Tunny is there meant to be a pic?
Theres always going to be oil in the turbo pipework with engines fitted with sealed crankcase breather systems.

Thats the breather oil residue mixed with the exhaust gas courtesy of the egr.
If you google it you will see its very common across all vehicle makes.
If its an early car cheap enough to block the egr valves off.
