Oil Residue inside intake--is this normal ?

I just took off my Throttle Body and noticed engine oil lightly one the inside of the intake and on the inside of the throttle body , is this cause for alarm?

Are my piston rings going out?

Thanks

Yes it's normal as odd as it may sound

It is completely normal, almost all LS1 engines consume oil through the PCV system.
