Default Oil in the intake

Hiya everyone I've noticed recently I'm getting oil in my fmic piping and my dump valve is spraying bits of oil out everytime it dumps is this known to happen I've heard of some cars cossies doing it but never known the cause. Is there anyway of stopping it. Cheers

It's not excessive but when the dump valve dumps it leave a fine mist of oil where it's pointing working it hard work to keep it clean ect. I thought of fitting a catch tank but I was sure if it would cure it

Remove the DV and it won't spray everywhere- simple.

not really and i think they mean remove it if its a vta one and fit the recirc.
some oil in pipes is normal as the crank breathers vent back into the intake.
fitting a catch can vents oil breathers to the can to avoid it going back through the intake.

Oil in the inlet to the engine is not uncommon assuming your venting internally, but you do need to be aware of how much this is. If you're venting back into the inlet side, from your (assuming) OEM breather set-up, you should only be passing a fine vapour back into the inlet. If you have a lot of oil in your inlet then something isn't right and you need to get that investigated asap imo.

If you're "spraying" oil out of the dump valve, I would suggest you may have a problem that requires resolving.
