Hey bros I have noticed some oil around the bracket area on my pipe going from the turbo to the intercooler, is this normal? so anyway i'am planning on removing the two pipes and cleaning inside them, anything i should watch out for when i go ahead and do this?

i have not noticed it in mine b4, but from what i hear, it is totally ok to have a little oil, cause of the oil lines and such. however, if the oil is coming in waves, i would have it checked....

thats perfecty normal. almost all turbos leak some oil sooner or later. its not a concern especially on a rotary engine were oil in the combustion chamber actually helps the motor. i wouldnt bother with taking the pipes off and cleaning inside but what i would do is pull out the intercooler and drain some of the oil in there. there might and there might not be some oil at the bottom. other than that dont worry about it and there arent any tricks to pulling the stuff out.

If you clean it out today, it will be back tomorrow. I don't remember exactly why but supposedly, the PCV valve bypasses oil under boost.
