oil seeping out of my bov

[deejayS13]

whats up people?! i went for a drive today and noticed a little bit of oil coming out of my bov...i searched and all that stuff and what i got from it was that a little oil seeping out is normal...am i wrong? also, does anyone know what would cause this, and how i would fix the problem? oh, im running the stock t25 turbo on my redtop...if you even need to know that. somebody help!

It's normal to have a little oil, it gets deposited there from the valvecover vent, that dumps it in the intake.

[Ryan of Velocity]

It's all dependent on the amount of oil. If it's a small amount and your car is still running well I would not worry too much about it. Have you checked your intercooler piping coming off of your turbine for excessive oil? That can be a sign of failed/failing seals. But like he said above a small amount is nothing to worry about. Alot is bad and is would most likely be a bad turbine (seals) or something internal, i.e. rings.

u can get a lil k&n breather filter and put it on that vent on ur valve cover and plug up the intake so u dont have excess oil being shot back in your intake to be combusted.

or just put a catchcan inline

Yeah I just ordered a oil catch tank from greddy not too long ago. It only costs $90 and it catches all of the blow-by oil from the valve cover so it doesn't get into your intercooler piping. Also helps dress the engine bay up a bit.

deejay mine did it too, shaun down at jgy said it was just where a little oil seepd into the bottom of the turbo when it was tilted over and sat, he said run it a few good times up and down the road pretty hard and it will fade away:)

i have that same problem now. do you get smoke at idle too?

if so it's your turbo seals. i'm geting mine fixed tomarrow .. i hope.

[deejayS13]

yeah get the oil catch can set up and it will clean up a lot of the oily mess that you get in intercooler piping and bov, etc

dont mean to hijack the post, but how would you clean out the intercooler? i have to do mine toamrrow :-/ and every other damn pipe

my friend cleaned his greddy intercooler pipe and core by putting gasoline in it and shaking the shit outta it, then finally poured it all out and let the gasoline evaporate out before installing it back in.
