Default oil in throttle body

Hey guys, i picked up a 5.3 a while back and just noticed oil inside the t/b.
What does this mean and how bad can it be.
Im new to the lsx engines and fuel injection, what else should i look for?
Thanks for the help

ls engines have a bad pcv system,alot of oil acumalates in the intake.get a air water separator for a air compressor for $20 at home depot,or buy a oil catch can for $90.
