oil leaking from intercooler

I'm a bit worried about this. I have oil leaking out of the endtank that goes to the turbo. Is it normal to have oil in the intercooler? Here's a pic



I know I can just reclamp the hosing but I'm concerned about the oil.

Get a catch tank. Oil gets in to the intake through the valve cover. Should be a first mod IMO.

you should take it apart there and clean it up . you should add a catch can , to keep the oil blow by from draining down into your IC pipes.

no serious harm but will cut down the intercooler function

Get the catch can and if it continues you probably blew the seals on the turbo. What is the highest psi you have run and with what turbo?
