it's usually just the crankcase & header breathers putting oil vapours into the intake for enviromental reasons soon builds up

Air filter is often a cause of this, if the breathing is poor the vacumn will draw more vapour from the crankcase.

thanks 4 that .....
sum1 suggested that the turbo gasket is leeking .... what do u make of that suggestion.
also, the SQV BOV is blowing out quite a lot of oil, the air filter is the HKS induction kit, it should be getting plenty of air, the filter has been in for over a year, but this oil problem is recent

thanks
T
