Default Should I be worried?

I got my oil catch can today, the JTL one, awesome fit and looks great. The concern I have is the old hose I took off was covered in oil, is this normal or is something wrong? thanks

The outside of it or the inside, cause that's what the cans for stopping all that oil from entering the engine.

If you're SC'd like your sig states you might be forcing oil out under pressure. Does that SC kit has a valve in like the pro charger kit does?

Yeah it's supercharged no doubt lol. Actually, I am not sure about any valve(but I assume it does). I do know the supercharger I have is exactly like a the Paxton everyone sells for the stangs, apparently same company. I am sure your right Sparta about the supercharger pushin all that oil out, just makes me glad I got the catch can now before any thing bad happens.
