The holes tend to be on the bottom and sometimes require a bit of finger probing to find. Frankly if the turbo>intercooler>engine hose are OEM and soaked with oil my recommendation is to just bit the bullet and spring from the Samco replacements from Boost Controller as simple preventive maintenance. It's not a matter of if the OEM hose will die but when it will die and I can assure you it will be at a very inopportune moment. Same with the 1st gen fuel filter head. FYI while you have the turbo/intercooler hoses off pull the airbox to turbo hose and see if it's split/torn right down by the turbo just below where the hose from the CCV puck enters it.
