I believe the tube rows had epoxy used during assembly of the core. That may be what you are seeing. I would doubt that it was coming apart tho.It may only have that appearance. You can always pressure test the IC.
ok, how do you pressure test it. i took a small mirror and looked down the intake tube and looked like some of that epoxy was stringy and hanging away from where it is supposed to be, in between the cores

a mountain bike inner tube cut in 1/2 and some hose clamps should do the trick. Submerge it in a tub of water and watch for bubbles.
A shop vac and epoxy can be used to plug any leaks you find (use the rest of the Mt bike inner tube to make a shop vac to intercooler adapter and a plug for the other intercooler outlet).
