There is oil in my intake turbine housing of my T-25 and there is some oil right before the turbo in the intake pipe. Is this a bad thing? Does it mean my turbo is bad or going bad? To check for shaft play do I just wiggle the intake side wheel up and down and back and forth? Thanks alot, Any info is appreciated.~Matt
 
Do you have a breather filter or catchcan on your engine, or is it still blowing oil into your intake? If no breather filter, than your oil is probly coming from that line that attaches from the top left side of the valve cover to your intake. No big deal, it just coats your intercooler and reduces its efficiency.
