I have seen a couple post's about this topic but none that really explain why it happend or what can be done the solve it. I have a 99 gsx with bov and intake. I noticed that when i replaced my bov there was oil in the intercooler pipe. It has been about 1 month and there is still oil dripping from the intercooler pipe. The problem is that there is oil in the intercooler pipe. Why is it there, and how can i get rid of it. help please

The oil from the pipe is oil from your turbo that made its way to the intercooler, and now to your piping. Dont worry unless there is like a puddle. My I/C pipe was lined with it in my old gs-t. Dont worry about it unless it is a Massive amount.

-Check your PCV valve, should only OEM valve, or install a catch can on the air hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake hose just after the air filter.

-You can get a catch can from just about any "performance" shop, most has a little air filter on it, that's not smog legal, this is a shinny one, doesn't have a filter on it, I don't know if this one is smog legal or not, I made mine out of a small baby food jar, look funny but it work.
-As for the PCV valve, it's a one way valve, there's a ball bearing in it so it will make noise if you shake it, if it doesn't, you can either clean it with some carburator cleaner or get a new one.
