    Question oil in intercooler hose?

    ive got reverse intercooler pipe fitted, and i noticed a stutter of recent. checked all pipe work for lose connections, and when taking off the lower connection to throttle body i noticed a bit of oil, ive also only just cleaned the idle control valve which has started to get stuck again. What is spewing oil out? does the intercooler have oil in it??? thought it was just air? if a turbo return seal had gone could the oil circulate that far round?

    Hello yes the intercooler pipes and intercooler will have oil in it as the pcv system recirclates through the turbo system
