Default oil leak

Hey everyone. I just got my black 04 srt-4 three days ago and i really love this car. I have had alot of cars but this is by far my favorite. Well anyway I was just looking around underneath and saw that there is a little oil comming down from the I.C pipping on the driver side where the metal connects to the rubber hose. Anyone else have this and is it a big problem?

If the oil is leakin out of the intercooler piping, then I'm assuming the car doesn't have a catch can on it....my first suggestion would be to clean out the intercooler and then i would make sure the hose is pushed all the way up onto it and clamp it down....then go buy a oil catch can.... if you are unfamiliar with this, search the forums there is plenty threads to explain

Might want to check your throttle body as well and clean that out too.........

tighten the clamp that holds the pipe to the intercooler. not a huge problem, but, will cause you to have a boost leak. that could be why you have a drop off in boost. oh yeah catch can is a good idea too, but not necessary.

Not necessary if you don't mind drowning your TB and everything downstream w/ oil.....

I put a throttle body on my car, the car only has 3,000 miles. The old throttle body had nice new fresh oil all over it. The next day I installed the catch can.
