Do I need to clean??

Cleaned my K&N again the other day and still have never seen any oil in the intake. Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot. The rubber hose from the TB to the air box right? 44600 miles and not a drop of oil. Do I still need to worry about cleaning intercooler?
thanks
Dave

I to did not have any oil in the intake or on the throttle body but if I pulled the back hose off the IAV there was oil in there. And at 34,000 my intercooler was nasty.I have the breathers on now so I do not have to worry about oil anymore. Something else about 2 months before I cleaned the intercooler I started to get the hard to crank when hot glitch but scinse I cleaned the intercooler it has not done it once.

How does the throttle body look? Mine was dripping with oil at just 6,000 miles.

Also if you do a search on intercooler cleaning you'll see pics of what everyone is talking about. (mine was black)
