Fuel on inlet gasket (photos included)

I noticed there's a slight amount of what seems to be fuel on my gasket for the inlet manifold, is this normal? It doesn't look to have been leaking at all, just a little bit sat there and also underneath the gasket.

It's normal then I take it! Just thought I'd double check as I didn't notice it last time I had the inlets off.

Cant say ive ever noticed it TBH, but it doesnt surprise me especially, I certainly wouldnt panick about it.

More likely to be oil than fuel I would think, given that the fuel is injected a fair bit after that point, no doubt its from from the breather that goes back into the inlet.

Cheers Chip. Could be, it just smelt like petrol as soon as I removed it so I put two and two together. I've tightened it up slightly more than before I took it off which hopefully has stopped it going onto the gasket.
