How worried should I be?
 
My car has been eating some oil(more than usual) and as I was removing my intercooler I noticed something weird. This is one of the 2 hoses that connect across the intercooler. I think they have always has some blow-by oil in them but this seems like oil and antifreeze? Maybe I have a bad gasket somewhere?

What do you think this could mean?

Only mildly worried. Most likely caused by condensation mixing with oil in those breather lines. It is more pronounced during colder weather. When the car is back together, warm it up completely and recheck and that will probably be gone. A catch can or a better catch can on that line might help too.

That looks pretty normal for breather lines. I've seen it in my car at least that bad.
