Hi,
It does look wet. As far as your concerns, how many miles do you drive between oil changes? I ask because the manufacturer indicates it is acceptable to use 1 quart in 1500 miles. The system holds 4 quarts, so if you are going more than 6K miles between changes, it could be low. Additionally, make sure they are using a 5W40 synthetic oil. If they are installing something different, it can cause this issue.
The part you are referring to is an oil vapor separator, so it could be causing a leak. Check to make sure the hose that connects to the separator isn't leaking or damaged.
Let me know what you find.
