I was wondering if you guys would know what would cause oil to come from the intercoler piping that feeds to a maninfold?

Took off the pipe conected to my MX6 manifold and found OIL...the only thing that is suposed to go to the air intake manifold should be AIR right. how would oil be spiling in there??

Thinking it has something to do with the turbine spillig oil into the air it is compresing. Just wondering if you guys would know because there is no more MX6.com. Thanks for any coments.

 

most likely its a blown turbo or your oil drain line from the turbo is kinked/blocked/clogged/etc. forcing oil into the compressor housing. i'd check your oil return line and if that's fine i'd probably lean to the turbo being bad.

 

I had that once in my Vg, it was like a small puddle of oil/sludge in the intake pipe (before the manifold) just cleaned it out... it never happen again.. and i never gave it another thought.
...... and my turbo was fine.......

 

thax guys, will clean the piping and check the oil return line.
