Looking at the video where Andrew walks up on the porch, you can see that it is wicking water up the siding from the melting snow on the porch.
The home owner was probably the man who came out and explained the windows came from somewhere in Europe, Germany I think he said.
It's only pressurized when it's running. When it sits a hole in the intake anywhere depending on the size mice, bugs, salt spray, dust, anything will find its way in there. If it was me, I would fix it as soon as possible. But my stuff doesn't look like his.
Eric, before VW had to fess up about faking the emission controls on their TDI line, my Golf TDI had the same problem. In the winter, condensation would form in a low spot in the intercooler and boy did it sound unhappy when it gulped it down. There was no weep hole and clearly it needed one. I found out about it online, VW denied, and denied, and denied, and then did a TSB saying they would replace a plastic part with one that drained better. Which they did. I sold the car before the scandal. Always thought it ran and performed very well. First couple of winters, even in a garage, had starting incidents. And VW denied.
