Oil in the intake tubes

[bumpinregal]

Got another one for ya guys. I pulled the tube that is bent at a 90 that goes between the intercooler and intake... its full of oil??? The whole inside of the intake where the butterfly valve is, is black. Again... What does this all mean?? hehe

possibly failed turbo seals.

Is there oil in the MAF tube too? Also check the outlet of the turbo to the inlet of the IC, oil there?

Ok there is no oil in the MAF tube. There is a small amount of oil in the turbo outlet but it is very little and very clean. The oil up b the intake after in IC is black and there is a bit more.

Agree maybe its the turbo. I would clean the IC and see is the oil goes away, this is a lot cheaper then having the turbo rebuilt.

mine was the turbo..last straw was when the up pipe was so slippery, it blew off the throttle body on the highway....new turbo, no problems

Go to gnttype.org look under spring cleaning, sea foam work for me.
