After 18 years, the O rings in the turbo get worn. That causes a little blow-by of oil. Oil does not dry up like water and accumulates in the bottom of the intercooler. The water, caused by condensation, helps the oil drip out of the weep hole.

The real solution is to remove the turbo and replace the O rings, which can be expensive in terms of labor. The parts are around $150 and the labor take at least 4 hours. Most shops would want to replace the turbo with a new/refurbished unit which will cost over $500.

You mentioned the PCV might be in need of replacement. That is more important than a little oil blow-by. Make sure you are using 100% synthetic engine oil. If the car has more than 150 miles and still has the original PCV parts, it is time for replacement. And have the mechanic clean out the PTC.
