oil in air filter?
 
For awhile i've been alittle bit concerned about the cleanleness of my greddy air filter. so i decided to clean it but when i took it off the car i noticed that it is soaked w/ (i think) oil. seems that the bottom of the filter has the most oil on it and some oil is even in the bottom air tube (which can't be seen in the picture) My question is... do i have a serious problem or does this naturally happen? sorry this is an old pic and the intake is still attached but u can see how dirty it is. please send some answers my way so i can sleep easy tonight, thanks

oil seals in the turbos are shot, most likely. check your intercooler piping and if theres oil in the piping then thats your problem

That oil is from the BOV and CRV. A little is normal.

How much oil does your car consume?

seems to consume the normal amount..... need to put in an extra liter between changes now and then but i think thats normal

yeah, alittle bit is normal, check your turbos. if you have time u can take off the intercooler and check how much oil is inside, ha.
