Dear all you scoobynutters!!!

I took off my intercooler last night to fit my heat shield back on and I found a small amount of oil on the pipework joints attached to the underside of the intercooler?

I also noticed a oily film around the exit points of my dump valve?

Is this normal? I tried to look for an obvious leak but can't see one??

The car seems to be running normally, just a little worried as the oil looked fresh.....

Any Ideas?
