    It's completely normal to have some oil in the intake, over time the oil vapour from the crank breather builds up and coats the inside of the pipes.  Can easily take a cup of oil out of a 100,000 mile intercooler!

    I'd be wondering why the bolts are loose though...it may have had a new turbo or some other work carried out not to the best standard...
