it's a turbo car bro, everyone on here has oil in their intercooler whether it's fmic or tmic. The metal pipe that mounts onto the stock tmic takes oil from the heads and re-directs it into the turbo inlet pipe, get's sucked into the turbo and blows it all over your intercooler piping. if it's a substantial amount that usually denotes turbo failure, but if your car is running right, it's just a normal thing.

you'll see a significant amount if you run your car pretty hard. when i replaced my i/c hoses i noticed it also all over my i/c, my mechanic recommended me to get an oil catch can to help with this.
