Alright last night i took the car out and it would hold steady at 14-15 psi nothing wrong what so ever then when i was pulling down my street right before and during the turbo spool i heard a whistling noise so i check the boost guage and it wasn't holding boost it would spike down to like 13 then immediatly go down to 9 or lower i poped the hood this morning and i noticed that i had oil by the plug wires in the spark plug dip (in the valve cover) just pooled then i noticed that the car was shooting i would guess a white or blue smoke i really can't tell sorry so i took of the stock intake and noticed i had oil in that as well in the "accorden" intake and in the inlet housing just sitting there so i figure thats why its smoking but where would oil come from on the intake and then i would guess that the valve cover is leaking and thats why it is pooling by the spark plugs but why the whistling i can't find any vaccum leaks but i'm not saying that its not there when i had a vaccum leak before it did the boost lost thing but i've never heard the whistling before is it possible that the sh*ty t-25 is going out after a rebuild 10,000 miles ago it doesn't really matter bc i have a 14b waiting to be put on but i wanted to get the supporting mods before i put it on can someone please help me

Edit: I was thinking maybe do you think the BOV could be not shut all the way and that would be leaking boost plus it would make the whistle sound? is there a way i can check this also sometimes when hood is open i just noticed that it will shoot the blue smoke out of the BOV leading me more to think that the t-25 is just wanting to do and the freshly ported and rebuilt 14b wants to live agian =) ;)

Mods:
ACT 2100
Apex-i N1 *no cat*
Apex-i Auto Timer
Autometer Boost gauge
Blitz BOV
 
Yup Sounds like the seal on your turbo has gone bad. I think ya should throw the 14b on, an have the t-25 for another car. Thats what i did with mine.
