Oil in intercooler pipes.

[sethc24]

Guys i have my CCv routed to the back of the truck not the intake. anyways i was doing my injector o-rings and found puddles of oil in my passenger side intercooler pipe. Is this my turbo going out?:fustrate:

note* i did install of wicked wheel 1200k before this.

Was all that every cleaned out since you did the CCV?

no, your turbo is not going out.

Clean out the intercooler

Ah k I figured that because the oil in the intercooler pipes is black and my engine oil is new looking. I will clean them out for sure. Polish up the pipes too.

I had the same issue when I did CCV. I cleaned my pipes and boots, put it all back on, drove for a few hundred miles, took the pipes and boots off, and they had an oil puddle again. Then it dawned on me... Oil is still in the intercooler lol

Did you get the oil out of the intercooler? It looks like a pain to me to take it off.

 

[Justin@DP-Tuner]

He!l no lol. I am not taking that thing off unless I have to. I am just happy oil isn't going through the turbo anymore. I'm sure the oil in the intercooler will eventually clear.
