While I'm under the car with the shield removed, I noticed right above my intercooler pipe (passenger side) is another pipe that is a plastic housing connecting all the way to my BMS intake. This pipe appears to connect to the turbo, or a pipe connecting to the turbo. The issue here is the metal clamp holding the two seems to have slipped off at an angle and there is a black, milky oil substance around this metal clamp. Do I need to be worried and what is he fix? Thanks in advance!

Turbo inlet. The residue you are seeing is most likely blow-by. Catch can would fix that.

Thanks for he response! Is it common for this pipe to slip? And how easy is it to snug it back on? The space seems tight.

It should be bolted to the engine block and it just slides into the turbo. Once you remove part of the intake pipe it is really easy to work on.
