Oil in intercooler pipes?
Hello folks,
Is it normal to see oil (or this much oil) in the pipe coming out of the turbo, and around the exit hole of the intercooler?
Pipe to turbo
Pipe to turbo2
Intercooler exit
The interior of the intercooler looks clean.
Thanks.

Where would the oil catch can go?
Does this mean that the turbo oil seals are not doing their job, or is it acceptable? (MY03 PPP) Would this account for most of the oil usage?
Thanks again.

The oil vapour returned into the airstream of the standard inlet system effectively lowers the Octane level of the air/fuel mixture.

at idle I believe there is a negative vacuum, which means that you are drawing air IN through the breathers.
this is why I vented to the road, its only a small amount buts its getting it fresh.
from a catch can its drawing in stale air
