Hello guys, recently I went through the task of putting hard piping on my talon. Then I took off the piping going to my throttle body, and holy hell. oil EVERYWHERE. I mean a stream at the bottom of the piping. I told my friend about this and all he could say was "wtf". So here I am, seeing what everyone else has to say. I would like to fix it so my car isnt burning oil. I may be completely wrong but I thought that it could maybe be:
Oil feed line misplaced?
headgasket going out?
I could be comlpetely mistaken but hey. I dont know. :aha:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys :)

Ps In the pictures I was showing you where I found oil underneather, and the last picture is of my engine bay before hard piping just so everyone could see how everything is set up

Does your dipstick ever pop after you go for a spirited drive?

Do you have a balance shaft delete?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but if your oil pressure is too high it can push past the seals and if it goes past the compressor seals then you're going to find oil (possibly lots of it) in your piping. Do you have an oil pressure gauge, by any chance?
 
to answer everyones questions.
The turbo has little to no shaft play.
My dipstick is pretty much junk, its never popped out though.
I have no idea if it has a balance shaft delete.
No oil pressure gauge besides the stock one.
Stupid question, but is there a link you can provide to show how to hook up a catch can?
