massive amounts of oil in i/c piping
So i blew off my **** pipe by the throttle body today due to some spirited driving, and i had like oil dripping out of the TB pipe! Big puddle of oil by the MAF as well! Oy vey! what could be causing this?
Two things.
One you could be getting alot of oil from your crankcase breather if it is vented to your compressor inlet piping like it should be. You can use a catchcan to catch that oil vapor. Otherwise your turbo seals are shot and you're looking at a turbo rebuild which you could do yourself with the FAQ DIY writeups on here and a kit from Gpopshop.com. Try to clean all the oil out, then either VTA the crankcase or run a catch can to see if that is your problem, if that's not the problem then you know it's your turbo seals.

Hmm never seen those before. Must be in the private section in the archives. :gay:
If pcv and vent system are "proper", then something else is pressurizing the crankcase. Among the possibilities is a blown head gasket. Check your coolant and oil for contaminaton, then maybe a compression test. How's the performance? any different?
