Oil in Intake Tube connector hose

[John Lagnese]

I believe that too much oil can result in oil in the intake as well.

Sounds like you're referring to the "Michelin Man hose"--connecting 
to the outlet of the intercooler. Not sure exactly what you mean by 
"fresh" oil; however oil collected in the folds of that hose is a 
_very_ common occurance. Although it's alleged to contribute to 
eventual hose failure (also very common, so check it carefully), I'd 
say not to worry as long as oil consumption is relatively low in 
normal driving.
