Oil in maf pipe.

[Braxton Jordt]

Pulled off maf pipe and seen a little puddle where the pipe connects to turbo. Car does not smoke at all under boost or idle. I have valve cover breathers. Could this have anything to to with a pcv valve?

Are you running a stock turbo with the metal pipe that connects the turbo inlet bell to the passenger side valve cover? Could be sucking oil from there...

 

[Braxton Jordt]

Stock turbo yes but that is not hooked up.

Had the same problem a while back. Turbo was shot. Try a new PCV anyway. Cheap and easy and it eliminates one variable.

I had to get a rebuilt turbo to stop the oil in the intercooler and intake. Then I was getting some oil in just the intake under boost through the PCV, even with a RJC check valve installed. Once I installed a small moroso oil separator in line with the PCV, my intake now stays clean.

What's the moroso oil separator and I also have an rjc pcv

Braxton, sounds like the seals in your turbo are leaking and blowing oil into your charge pipe. I had the same problem back when I had a turbo civic. But on another note I need to get a hold of you to help me out on a Suzuki samurai. I sent you my number in a pm. Or if you want I could call you.

Do you have a K&N air filter and did you make sure it's "good an oiled" the last time it was cleaned?

That's a good way to take out the MAF too.
