So working on my car recently I noticed a lot more oil in the intake inlet of my Turbo. I'm hoping someone can guide me on what steps to take to remedy this.
The car doesn't smoke when idling or while driving. So it doesn't appear to be leaking on the hotside. I don't know how long its been doing this since I normally have an intake on it. When I rev it up it sprays out of the turbo. The turbo is an PF HTA 68 with approx. 7000 miles. I'm using the PF oil feed line from the oil filter housing. Also using the FP return line. It's mounted on the FP exhaust manifold. Oil has been changed every 1000 miles approx.
I'm wondering if it needs an oil restrictor. Or perhaps the turbo oil seals have gone bad. I can't imagine why with such low miles on the turbo and I don't beat on it so much that it would already be bad. The car runs good otherwise and i've done a boost leak test on it. There is oil in the intercooler and residual oil in the intercooler pipes.
On my catch can setup i have a line running from the left valve port to the can and the top port running into the intake manifold .
I'd like to know if this is a sign of a bigger problem or if perhaps a simple fix with an oil restrictor. I wanted to see what you all thought.
The car is a 98 gsx with 7 bolt engine.
