Default OIL in the Intake Manifold

Took off my Intake Manifold off of my new Build and there is a little bit of oil in each runner.
There is also some oil on the Intake Manifold Gasket.
Its only a tad bit and Im dealing with a oil leak on the Oil pressure fitting.

Any questions/Thoughts on this?

oh that's the oil pressure switch, try taking it out and putting some sealant on the threads.
do not over-tighten!!
by the way the switch is 1/8 BSPT for British standard
