Oil in KLR

I FINALLY get to enjoy the full boost on my 86 951! The fix was replacing the KLR computer. Here's where I need advice....

Upon disconnecting the boost line from the KLR I noticed an oily substance in the hole to the klr. I turned it up and several drops ran out. It was clear, and fairly slick. It was almost too clean to be motor oil. I started the car with the line disconnected to clear out any residual oil. Installed new klr and life is good.

Any guesses on whether the oil will return? The car doesn't really burn much oil (at least no blue smoke) and gets 2000mi to a quart. Most due to a few leaks, I'm sure.

Also, I'm guessing my old KLR could be cleaned and used.
