I hate to be difficult but...

To really answer this a person would have to catch it on filter paper,
rinse off the oil with a solvent, dry, and then use a sensitive scale.

I suppose we could use a multiple choice scale:
  (none)  (a little)  (a moderate amount)  (quite a bit)

If forced to answer, I might say that more than you can easily pinch
between a thumb and finger would be cause for concern.
