found oil in the TB! Any ideas where it came from? *NOT* a turbo!
So I decided to try to adjust the throttel cable. Its been tangling up on a kink in the cable and makes the plates stick open a bit sometimes. Frustrating. So when I removed the TB, there was some pretty evident residual oil on the TB exit.
Maybe normal for some cars, BUT:
Not A turbo, this is a n/a car, so the turbo blowing oil in is not a possibility.
No emissions, oil gettign sucked in by mazda's Psuedo-PCV isn;t a possibility as the vent vents to a catchcan.
Last thing I think you guys might suggest is injection oil somehow making its way back through the intake... well, the car is pre-mix only, no oil injection anymore.
So where'd this oil come from? Any ideas?

WELL u r in a predicamint lol i was going to say it was your oil injection BUT apperantly it cant be. humm. maybe u have a small oil leak somewhere near your intake assembly and it getting sucked in through your filter. look down at the engin block and look for leaks. that happend to a friends of mines truck..... but it was a truck..... and it was a pos. but its worth a look right?

Just residual crap that's been in little passages in the TB for years from the EGR system, when it was functional, and is "bleeding" out a little...
My second guess for the day

I suppose both are possible. I actually have reworked the intake a bit so that one of the intake pipes large nipples gets split up to 5 smaller nipples that go straight to the fuel injector bleeds. I'm not sure how I'd get a suction on the fuel injector bleeds, as they themselves has suction on the opposite side of the nipple per the manifold... strange.
Nothing important I suppose.

I've had oil in my TB before also.... and my EGR is blocked off wayne
I woudln't pay it too much mind... unless you start noticing some oil lossage.
And I thought S5s don't have EGR...

The purge valve...Routes **** to the intake from the charcoal canister every start-up, if the system's working right...
Whatcha think?
