intercooler

[andys 4x4]

hi can anyone advise me, i notice i have oil around the intercooler connection pipe to the manifold is this normal, what can i do about it. has something blown or blocked up, any help will be appreciated, i noticed it when i was changing my crank position sensor, which cured my intermitant starting problem. as one fault gets rectified another one appears, : cheers Andy.

replace the stock spring type clips with decent jubilee clips

visually inspect your boost hoses for holes rips damage etc

look under the intercooler for oil where the tubes join the end tank,, really common to split there

I steam cleaned mine externally and ran it for a month, checked again and i could see where it was leaking from
