Intercooler or hose?
So was doing a pre winter check and service and I noticed some oil on the front drivers side cross member under the intercooler. I removed the plastic covers and there is oil dripping from intercooler hose but there is also oil on the front of the intercooler. I can't find a tear in the hose and the clamp is tight. Before I dig any further has anyone has this.

Looks like intercooler to me with oil on the font , if you can you could try pressuring the intercooler from the other sideMetal auto sump & fluid change (3 hrs)
LR door puddle projectors (10 mins)
Tinted Bonnet wind deflector (10 mins)
All Intercooler pipes and Tbolts (2hrs)
3 injectors replaced so far (30mins)
Sunroof drain pipes both sides 2.5 hrs)
Rear discs, shoes,pads,callipers,flexi hoses, rigid brake line, n/s upper hub carrier bush and rear n/s upper arm (13hrs over 2 days)

Looks like the cooler might have a split. However that’s quite an amount of oil. I’d be I’d be looking at why there’s so much oil in there. An oil leak like that will destroy the hose in quite a short period of time. There’s also the chance that the hose is already goosed but is only visible under load/boost conditions. Change the hose and clamp and see what happens. And check your turbo, it might be on its way

I would give it a high Pressure was / brake cleaner spray and put Talkum or Baby powder around it. IC change is quiet a job.Achim
