Speaking of oil leaks...

I have noticed that the drivers side air duct coming from the intercooler back to the engine there is oil on the hose at both ends. It seems to be oil seepage from the rubber piece that joins the metal hose to the manifold. Wondering if there is a cure/normal or what? no oil on the passenger side hose just the drivers side.

You are getting blow by into the inlet side of the turbocharger which is being blown into the intercooler contaminating it. Eventually the rubber hoses will become saturated with oil and have to be replaced. Racor makes a catch tank to reroute the closed crankcase vent to the catch tank. Or you could simply turn the breather around backwards on the L/B valve cover and run a road draft tube down the back of the engine. I don't know if the Racor catch tank is EPA certified but I DO know that the draft tube IS NOT. If you are interested in the Racor system, E-mail me at -removed- and I'll send you their web site (I'm a computer moron and haven't figured out how to hyperlink to this site).
