Re: oil in intercooler pipes
It's coming from the crank case breather pipe, it's quite natural for the vapour passed through this pipe to contain oil particles which will collect on the intercooler core and pipework. I intend removing my pipes and flushing the IC at some stage but I don't think it needs it just yet. The breather pipe should be kept clean to save it closing in and having a syphoning effect .
