Oil in Intercooler? (long)

While flushing the coolant on my wife's 2000 9-5 wagon (30K miles), I removed the air delivery pipe from the intercooler (to give me some room to coax the radiator petcock) and there was a fair amount of oil in it. As the car had the occasional blue smoke at startup I had the only area dealer do the PCV mod a couple hundred miles ago.
A couple questions:
1. How much oil can an intercooler accomodate before its performance is significantly reduced?
2. Can a dealer "clean" an intercooler?
3. Would the PCV mod eliminate this oil from collecting in the future?
4. Should the dealer have cleaned this after performing the PCV mod?
5. As the car is still under warranty is there anything I should asked to be done?
Thanks MCC
