I have just bought a 6 month old Forge recirc valve and it has arrived with what looks like brake cleaner/oil inside?
Should they have oil in them?

It will probably be due to the oil vapour being recirculated through the boost pipes. Nothing to worry about.

There should be a tiny amount of oil

My guess is that its come off a car with a serious engine problem.

You should clean it out and use a little bit of clean engine oil when re-assembling, simply to lubricate the piston in the DV body
