I removed the same pipe recently and mine was void of any oil. The pipe was clean inside and out.
Btw the pcv is fairly efficient and does not 'dump' oil, just oil vapours. The pcv barely makes the pipes dirty (ok maybe the tip had a slimy feeling to it where the hockey puck fits in). After inspecting boost pipes that had done 200k , I could not see the benefits of installing a catch can being worth the money spent. It's yet another part that needs to be serviced/ drained every once in a while.
By adding a catch can you would obtain a cleaner mixture into the combustion chamber and remove annoying pipes that develop boost leaks. They also look fairly awesome with the braided hosing etc.
But silicon pipes exist for the whole pcv and this was considerably cheaper for me to do that than buy a quality catch can with all the good fittings.
I would be more concerned by oil being introduced to the boost pipes by a high milage turbo than the pcv. Btw I'm not saying this is your problem.
There is a lot of oil there on the outside of the pipe.. Strange. Sorry I don't know what the brass fitting is.
