Hi all,
I'm swapping out my turbo and injectors for bigger stuff. Since I got a 4" Big Mouth kit I pulled the TB to install an angled boss for the IAC. I figured while I was at it I'd Heli-coil my doghouse bolts.
So as I'm taking all these intake parts off I noticed a decent amount of oil. At the vacuum block, on the TB blades, pooled at the front and back of the JC Power Plate, and a coating inside the lower intake. The engine has 1,300 miles on it and compression is fine and there's no crankcase pressure (from combustion, anyway). The car doesn't smoke at idle. It does smoke at WOT but it looks like fuel (black) - still trying to sort that out. Exhaust doesn't smell like oil (smells like fuel).
Plugs look good.
So what would cause this? How can I fix it? Or is some oil to be expected?
Thanks,
Jim
