A "Bit" of oil in pipe leaving intercooler? No Smoke.

My 1999 SE V6 water pump started rumbling a week ago. Thursday, I picked up a pump (same as Catera and Saturn 3.0 L). I was out for an errand Saturday afternoon on my way home to do the pump install. Just minutes from home, THE OLD PUMP SIEZED UP and the serpetine belt was quickly scorched and snapped in about 30 seconds!
I was able to nurse the car home stopping a few times to let it cool down. As it is the battery almost ran flat from the 6 or 7 restarts and no alternator plus I ran the AUX interior heater off the battery to help cool the engine when it was off.
To access the coolant drain at the bottom of the radiator, I removed the hose duct at the discharge of the intercooler. A little bit of oil dribbled out... probably 1 or 2 ml or less than a teaspoon. Car has 136,000 km with no sign of smoke at start-up.
I suspect this is normal but would appreciate any insight others may have. I heard once that a tiny bit of oil leaks out the turbo shaft seal as a matter of course.
Thanks,
Reg
