I'm running a factory PCV system with a see-through fuel filter between valve cover and turbo intake pipe. I ran it this way for a while without any issues, until now. I'm 30 miles into an engine break in and just noticed there are some kind of resin looking pieces inside that filter.

Has anyone seen anyting similar to that before? Looks kind of like cooked up oil or something

Any words of wisdom on this situation would be very appreciated!

The pcv will vent oil as it evacuates pressure from the engine. Its why your stock intake pipes end up coated in oil.
 
I understand that, what i don't understand is why it looks like resin and why now, while i'm breaking in on wastegate spring pressure?
 
To me it looks like a few drops of oil. cut the filter open and actually see what it is. And when your breaking in a motor you will get blow by on the pistons untill the rings are seated causing higher crank case pressure.
 
^^Thanks man, i was actually about to ask if that had anything to do with the fact that my piston tops look similar! I guess that would explain it
