Can a 'check engine' light cost $3000? 850 1996

I think I know where the oil goes: It accumulates in the
intercooler. I guess as the intake charge snakes its way
through the intercooler the oil "sticks" to the inside walls.
It drips down to the bottom. At the bottom of the intercooler
there is a small hole (yep, there is). The oil is blown out the
hole when the intake is under boost. Drop the black lower
cowl under the front of the car (two 10mm bolts on either side)
and you will find the inside of it is covered with gunky oil
blown out of the inercooler.
