Slight Intercooler leak, what is acceptable?

I was working on finding a boost leak on a friends '95. Found the major leak which is up by the grid heater/intake horn. Banks twin ram, twice as many spots to leak.

Question is, after we sprayed everything down with soapy water I could see a very slight leak in the intercooler in 1 or 2 spots, just enough to make bubbles at 10 to 20 psi on my regulator. What is acceptable for this sort of thing?

Thanks ahead of time.
