Oil has leaked onto the intercooler or into it?

good question- I am not sure as ignorant of the make up of the system... so not sure...but I can definitely see oil in the front grill of the inter cooler so my guess is that its got into it....

There’s absolutely no way oil could get into your intercooler just by being on the outside of it as oil under atmospheric pressure would not find its way into a pressurised intercooler. Maybe you have a bit of damage to the intercooler or intercooler hoses (which will give you a loss of power) and the leak could be oil mist/residue being blown out? It’s normal to have a bit of oil coating the inside of the intercooler and not a real problem in itself. Normally though, you'd hear a hissing noise of escaping charged air when you increased the revs. Do you hear that? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

As Steve D has posted above.Check the intercooler for cracks & the hoses for any splits, sounds like that could be your problem. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.
