Oil on Turbo Hose 850 1996T

There is oil on the outside of the turbo hose right after the turbo. Does it just need to be tightened?

    Can't hurt to tighten it, but you'll only slow down the seepage slightly. The hose is made of stiff plastic and a seep proof seal is unlikely. It is normal for this model to aspirate a small amount of oil. There is another point that seeps. There is a vent hole on the bottom right side of the intercooler. It dribbles oil into the air guide under the radiator and eventually hits the garage floor. There is a service bulletin to install a fitting in the intercooler that vents moisture but keeps the oil seepage down to a minimum.
