I was doing a boost leak test in my talon yesterday and when i pulled off the UICP i noticed some oil in the pipe. I have a breather filter on my valve cover so that wouldnt let any oil in. Is there anyplace else that oil could have gotten in (except for my turbo's seals)? My turbo is a newish evo III and it has barely been boosted since it got put on because i got really bad boost creep that hasnt been fixed since its became my daily driver once i moved. Is there anything else that can cause this or should i pull the turbo.
Oh yeah, it has very minimal end play and no in and out play. There was also a little oil in my tps area where my o-rings are worn (they are getting replaced tomorrow.)
 
yeah, new pipes and the intercooler was cleaned out really good. Also its been a year since the last turbo went on
