The intercoolers have a "weep" hole to let any condensed oil drain out. This hole is there by design and is not to be plugged up.
When the turbo gets old, the internal oil seal will wear and increasingly more amounts of oil will be introduced to the intercooler. This oil only gets to the intercooler when the turbo is active. It will collect on the air guide/splash pan and cross over to the drivers side and drip on the garage floor.
