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 .
