Oil around Turbo Outlet

[ctk1]

I just did a oil change and noticed a small amount of oil around the turbo outlet attached to to the intercooler hose. It looks like it's coming out from the hose because their is no oil anywhwere else. Should I just replace the hose and get new clamps to se if this cures the problem?
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks.

There is always a small amount of oil inside those hoses and your entire intake system.. but if its leaking out, you should probably find out why.. how much oil are you talking about?

yeah, i just swapped out my intake pipe back to the stock pipe on monday. i noticed a small amount of oil in the turbo inlet when i took the intake pipe off. not much, probably about a 1/4 teaspoon.

the only reason why i wonder, is because i don't remember seeing it when i initially installed the intake.

however, on monday, when i swapped back to stock, my car had sat untouched for at least 24 hours, and when i first installed the intake a month ago, i had driven about 20 miles to my friend's station. could that account for why i didn't see any oil during the install?

any thoughts?

Please go to my photo gallery for the picture of what I'm talking about (not my actual pic).
See where the bottom of the turbo outlet inside piece meets the outside wall of the turbo outlet...
Where the two pieces of metal meet.
It's leaking right there.
What causes this?
Can I reseal it?
Replace a gasket?
Any thoughts?
