Where do you drain the intercooler?

I tried the search but couldn't find it. But I remember a post that said you can remove a bolt, drain anything that maybe in it, use a paper towel to remove a litle extra around the drain and close it back up again.
The only thing that I could find was a black bolt kind of located under the oil filter when looking from under the car.
If anyone can let me know if this exists and where it's located, please let me know.

Thanks,

Rich

Don't sweat it. There is not enough oil inthere to make a difference. These oil residues when running CI-4 oils prevent the soot buildup in the EGR by keeping a film of oil that does not allow soot to adhere.

As a further precaution, have the EGR duty cycle reduced and simply leave the CCV connected.

Again not worth worrying about or doing.

I already did reduce the egr duty cycle. What is the black bolt though that is located kind of under the oil filter? There are 2 hoses running into it.
