Oil leak out of my intercooler?

Woke up this morning to a drop of oil on my garage floor from my 2020 Ram (w/ 70k miles)
After some investigation the oil leak is from my intercooler (I think).

Looking at the intake there is a good amount of oil everywhere. Is this much oil past the turbo normal?

My 2020 EcoDiesel, only 10 k miles, has oil seepage on the tubes similar to your photo "IMG_0527.jpeg", but I've never seen any oil drips. I've been wondering what is causing it, but was waiting until I take mine in for the HPFP replacement under warranty.

If still under warranty I would take it in asap to get it looked at. This also helps protect you if issue continues

I have an appointment at the end of the month (the earliest they can get me in! )

I'll reply with what is found

If you look inside the intercooler on any turbo, it is soaked in oil from blow by which is completely normal. Looks like hose could be defective or seal if there is one
