Odd oil leak, where is it coming from?...
I dropped the tray to change my oil and the right edge was lightly coated with oil on the inside of the tray. It appears to be coming from far forward on the passenger side. Nothing easily visible is coated or dripping. Is there something in the area of the right air cooler that is leaking? I'm going out to dig a little more. I am not using any oil, went 5k without adding any.

found it, now I'm worried...
lower intercooler hose has a small scratch/cut, probably from son's argument with Volvo bumper lying on highway a year ago. Saw slight evidence of this leak last oil change. Other than swapping out the hose, should I be worried? I've already opened up clamp and nothing is running out.

you can pour a lot of oil out of those hoses from oil blow by as many have found
when swapping in an FMIC.... can kinda be scary how much oil pours out but it's typical from what I've heard
