Hey guys, just took my intake apart today to clean up the outside and I noticed that there was fresh oil inside the intake. I was wondering if thats caused by a bad pcv valve??? I cleaned it all up, but since I just got my head back and finishing up my turbo project and I want to figure out where the oil is coming from so I can prevent it going to the intake before I am finished with my boosted project. Thanks for the help

 

did you overfill with oil?

is it fresh fresh oil, or used oil? Could be blowby.....

 

Are you boosting yet?

 

Installing a catchcan would help to alleviate that

 

no I am not boosting yet

Ok, if you are talking about the intake (and not the intake manifold), then get a new PCV valve, and if that doesn't work put more vents on the valve cover. The PCV valve should suck out enough vapors on a stock engine to keep it from overflowing into the intake tube.

If it's in the intake manifold then get a good catch can.

 

I bet you have a hose hooked up from valve cover directly to a nipple on the air intake. No no.
