Oil in the intercooler?

Oil in the intercooler?
Is it normal to have a little bit of oil at the fittings at the intercooler? i just changed my intercooler with a new forge one and there was a little bit of oil at either end of the intercooler. I called the dealership and they said it was normal to have a little. I was concerned that the turbo was having problems. I figured it should only be pushing air. Just wanted them sorted out before I tune the engine at Sneeds Speed shop and really blow the remaining warranty. I've got 38000 on my little Oliver now. Any thoughts?

I saw that one on their site but its listed under the R53 supercharged minis. Will it work/ fit with our cars?

I am not sure if I should get a catch can or not. I plan on only keeping my MCS for 50,000 miles before training in for a new one. Right now it only has 3,500 miles on it and most of my miles are highway but traffic. I figure a catch can and Seafoam would do the trick to keep me from having problems. What does everyone think

This company makes a nice dual catch can as well as single cans, quality is unmatched in my opinion.

Their website talks about and shows a drawing of one with mesh inside saying it may be better than baffles

Hi there , in relation to your answer here about blue smoke is that all the time or just when you put your foot down? I'm starting to suspect my turbo is going , iv noticed a puff of smoke after hard acceleration even more so now iv had it tuned and decat . Do you think this is due to my turbo ? I also had a bit of oil in my intercooler hose. Thanks
