- intercooler leak oil slight
almost all of them leak out the bottom bend
since running a pipe from my crankcase to to the bottom of the car mine has dried up completely

it's really just disconnecting at the lowest point and letting it drain good wipe round reconnect and and you done, unless you have a large milage/time and than it's worth removing the i/c rinsing out and more important hose out the fins, do a search I think Muddy' did a HOW-TO on here
Sorry I didn't do a guide, but did have a couple of photos of my intercooler when I removed it. Can't remember where they are now though !
IMO oil down there is all pretty normal and not really worth worrying about....
EDIT: As Nic (Cheshire Cat) said, what would be more worthwhile is to clean all the flies/leaves/stones etc out of the intercooler fins, to get as much airflow over it as possible. Easier to do when it's off the car - best way is to hose it through from the rear side to flush all the crap out of the front.
