Dave,

In addition to Doyt's advice, consider that your
Michelin Man hose (top hose approx 2" from Intercooler to
the throttle body) may be a potential culprit. Take off
the car, cover both ends with palms or some other airtight
seal and squeeze hands together like an accordian. It should
NOT leak. Also carefully check between the pleats, especially
at the bottom where oil would collect. Helps to have a light on
the inside. If it leaks, replace, about $35 at lister source TPC.

HTH!
