The best way to check would be to simply measure the pressure drop between an area between the condensation and the compressor (expect high pressure) and an area with condensation (expect low pressure - but still above atmospheric). If this did prove that there was a pressure drop then you could investigate how much heat the gas would try to extract and so forth. As has already been said you would expect to see the drop across the throttle (a deliberate restriction) and perhaps after an intercooler (an unfortunate restriction). In any case - its probably a bad thing because it means that the intake charge is being re-heated (ie absorbing heat from the atmosphere) and so your intercooling is being undone . I don't think these results could have occured through the intercooler being at below ambient temp. How did it get below ambient temp in the first place? It might feel cold but that is a result of its capacity to transfer heat away from your body - not because it is at a lower temperature than the environment. It would take a cold source (at a temp below ambient) to cool an intercooler down to below ambient, otherwise it will be at ambient like everything else in the local environment...
