oil leak inside turbo into intake piping

[Joeyxx07]

ok so i pulled off the snorkel on my 2g talon and found what i think to be oil in there. now i know my car is leaking oil is this where its coming from? if so what could be causing a leak like that. i have picutres but its pretty self explanatory. I also think i have a small 16g becasue the fin sizes are different and theyre dual fins. Any help would be greatttttly appreciated!

Do you still have all the stock emissions lines hooked up to you're intake? If so it's probably just blow by, if not it could be turbo seals, although the oil is usually found on the side going to the IC though.

Check the shaft play of your turbo. See if you can move the compressor wheel, up/down, side/side, in/out. Also check the line that goes from your valve over to your intake to see if there is oil buildup inside of it. Blowby is when your pistons rings start to wear down and crankcase oil is making it into the combusion chamber. It will usually cause the car to smoke.

well i checked my shaft play and theres is verrrry little side to side, no in and out. Can i pop off thos lines without having clips? how should i reattach them then

Yes you can pop the lines off, just put a little filter on the line, or use a catch can.

Not exactly, more like the opposite. Blow by is air/fuel mixture leaking into the crankcase on the piston's compression stroke.
