If that is the case, the only way the oil is going to make its way into the intake ports is by going threw the intercooler bricks fins. The pic posted (as well as the OP pics) doesn’t seem to indicate any oil staining on the intercooler bricks fins unless they have done a really good job of cleaning all the oil out of the fins however there would still be some form of discolouration in the fins (unless the pics don’t show the discolouration, sometimes things look different in the flesh vs in pics).
The oil is obviously being drawn up via the port in the valley plate, either going threw the rotor pack and coming out the discharge port or bypassing the rotor pack and coming up out of the bypass valve. That said, the oil still needs to make its way threw the bricks fins to get into the intake ports, surely there would be witness trace of oil residue in the fins if this is the case....no? For the amount of oil that’s in the ports, there would have to be a fair amount running threw the fins.
