R60 Intercooler piping leaking oil??

Hey all, I’ve got a 2016 R60 with about 70k miles on it. I went to do a spark plug service today I noticed that the little hose that comes from the pcv valve to just in from of the turbo is pretty oily and the point where the cold pipe angles down to in intake manifold is leaking oil onto the engine mount below. Now I thought the answer to all my problems would be getting a catch can but from what I’m reading they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Is this a common issue? Is there anything I can do to stop this or is it just a fact of life now? Thanks in advance!

I noticed that my intercooler has some oil in it as well. I'm suspecting a failed ccv. But now sure.

Did you work your issue out?

I'm now having the same issue on my R60. Any ideas of what the issue was?
