Default oil build up on fmic tubing

when i changed my oil the other day i noticed there was oil build up around the outside of the lower tubing towards the driver side. i have no idea why oil would be there? is there oil leaking through into the intercooler? i didnt disconnect the tubing so idk whats in there but its was fresh oil and it was around the tubing idk if its leaking or what? what should i do to fix this

Mine is the same way, as is most other SRT-4's, since i didn't get an OCC right away after getting my SRT-4. It would take quite awhile before the oil gets as far as the intercooler, so just install an OCC and then it won't be an issue.
