Default Oil in TB

I got my 6.0 opened up the other day, when I pulled the duct tape off the TB the seller put on it and there was a little bit of oil present, anything to be concerned with?

You can stop this by installing a LS6 valley cover. Its a pain in the *** job. Not worth it unless you car starts drinking alot of oil through the PCV.
