Default Turbo question/hose

I decided today to just take the hose leading from the turbo to the radiader/intercooler off to inspect it. I found it to be slimey and also saw some build up of oil or something of that nature inside the hose. i cleaned it the best i could and tightened it all back up. Comments?


91 740 turbo 126k

You will always have a trace of oil in the hoses.
If the hose gets to soft it will collapse under boost.
