Oil in Upper I/C pipe?

[bhop]

I took off my bov today to paint it black (purple sucks). When I looked down into the I/C pipe, I noticed it looked wet. When I stuck my finger in it, there seemed to be a thin coating of oil. Not much, just a little, but still...

Maybe i'm mistaken, but I thought it was just air that went through that pipe?

I know my car recently had a leak that's fixed now. There was oil leaking into the spark plug holes (I don't know technical terms), could it have come from that?

definately a normal problem. Maybe a custom catchcan will help a little. But either way a small amount is normal and won't hurt anything.

That's good to know. I wasn't too sure, but better to find out than let it go if it wasn't.

ya, I'm guessing this is the first time youve had all the piping off? therefore its probably been collecting for a while....
you might want to clean out the intercooler as well, that thing will be full of oil...

Sounds good. Are there any tips on the best way to do that?
