Default Bypass valve and vacuum port

I've got two questions that are somewhat related. I installed a boost gauge the other weekend and tried to find a vacuum line. I found only one hooked up to my bypass valve. Is there another line I should hook up to? I looked around but couldn't find any.
That being said the bypass valve is more of a blow off valve since there is no recirculation hose from RIPP. It looks like its spewing some fluid. Probably oil but was a little surprised. Anyone else see this with the gen 2 RIPP kit?

That's the same line I'm using (without issue) for my vacuum/boost gauge.

Good to here I'm not the only one! Do you get the oily substance from the bypass valve? It's currently directed at my ECU but doesn't seem to affect performance at all.
