It's pretty normal to have a small amount in your pipes. So dont worry.

how can i clean out this oil? and what type of cleaner to use?
thanks for the reply. :thumb:


well cleaning it is painstaking. but stopping it is easy..jsut get a filter (most guys prefer a catch can) and use it for the PVC valve line and the line commin from the intake mani.. this will stop the majority of the oil from gettin into the the IC and to clean ur IC. u can take it off and use rubbing alcohol.. ashake it up and then let it sit and dry for about a half a day i guess..
 
When I first got my talon I took out the whole intake system form air intake to all the ic pipes and the intercooler itself. I disassembled them and cleaned everything really good inside and out. I used simple green and that really cut through that oil build up and then I rinsed everything really good with water to it came out crystal clear. While you have all of these parts off check all of their conditions and check for boost leaks. I put my whole system together outside the car and checked it thoroughly for leaks. Also feel free to take care of the "Free Mods" while everything is out of the car.
