I have had an anoying oil leak from my front bumper. Took it off and and its coming from around the end of the intercooler. All the connections are tight and no apparent damage. Anyone come accross this before?

The seal between the end cap and cooler matrix has failed. It's pretty common, and an unfortunate side effect of a part made down to a price.
Radiators made using the same construction technique also suffer leakage of coolant.
 
Hi Newby here i seem to have same issue but mine is on the left hand side as you look from the front, does anyone think it's the same thing the seals?

It'll be the end cap seals failed. Mine is also the same, but I'm not going to buy a replacement unnecessarily.
If it's only a slight oil creep, it's of no consequence really.
