not 2 long ago i took my GS-T apart because i wanted 2 change my uicp so n e way i noticed that there was some oil inside the uicp, bov, an in the intake im been told that my turbo seals are leaking but in just need 2 hear what every 1 els thinks oh an its not smoking so thats what make me think that it might b something els but im not sure what it could be

thanks
 
Is it a lot of oil or a little bit?

If it's just a little bit, that's common. It's because of the way the vents on the valve cover are. The vent that leads to the intake pipe is only supposed to draw in air and sometimes it pushed air/oil out and gets into the pipes, intercooler, blow off valve, throttle body and intake manifold.

If you are pushing oil past the seal, you would also notice it in the exhaust.
 
ya i thought that it might of been because of that but i dont have it venting from the intake to the VC i have a filtre of the VC
