Hi!
This morning I took off the engine under-cover to spray some silicone lube on the stabiliser bar links and noticed that there was a little build up of oil residue at the outlet of the intercooler.
Going home this afternoon I passed by the dealer and asked them to take a look in case it's something very serious. They said they can't find any cut or something like that in the piping and it's probably just some gases/oil that escaped over time. There were 3 mechanics looking at it and all were very relaxed about it.
They cleaned it up and will check it again in about 1 month to see if there is new build up.
What confuses me is what are gases / oil doing in the intercooler? And also, could the fact that they apparently escape be something to worry about?
It's the 2.0 engine.
