You always get some residue floating around the pipes. If it runs out of the pipe, then you should be concerned. Otherwise don't worry about it.

Thanks Gavin , what do you mean when it runs out of the pipe . When the hose was removed from the inter cooler I run my finger inside it the hose and that's where it is that greyish residue is. Only on the hose where the left wheel is the other side of the intercooler there was nothing .. Peter

I mean if it pours out of the pipe work. There's always some oil mist in the intake.
