If you have oil leaking from there you need to install a catch can. Its the pipe that exits the intercooler and attaches to the throttle body right? There are three main pipes: The charge pipe, hot side pipe, and cold side pipe. The cold side pipe is the one that will collect the oil if you don't have a catch can. The charge pipe is the one that extends off the back of the turbo. And the hot side pipe connects the charge pipe and the intercooler.

i thought he mean his hotside pipe... no way oil should be in there, unless its really built up in everything, and pooled inthe bottom of the intercooler and leaked into the hotside pipe, but that would be ALOT of oil.
but if its on the coldside, a catch can will fix your issue, although you might consider cleaning out all the oil thats already there.

True dat. Also if you have a boost leak issue you might wanna check both your hot and cold side piping and make sure they are clamped down good. If you have oil built up in the cold side pipe it will drip maybe a little but shouldnt be leaking excessively I dont believe. It might not be connected or tightened good. Just jack up the front end and get under there and check both sides of the intercooler and make sure all the clamps are tight. If you still think you have a boost leak after that, you might wanna try and find someone with an air compressor and boost leak tester and listen for where the leak might be. Anywhere from 11-15psi is pretty much the norm for stock setup depending on the temperature, humidity, etc. Good luck.
