i have a freshly built motor with a 35r kit from a spec. motor runs great but i noticed oil is sweating out of the turbo intake. the filter is wet with oil.... could not having a catch can and pcv cause this problem...??? could my turbo be messed up?.... ive never heard of this happening before... any help would be very appreciated.. Thanks!

 

Sounds like someone just over-oiled the air filter.


Is the Turbo new?

 

yea the turbo is brand new

 

Post some pics. I have a feeling that it's just an over-oiled filter, but who knows.

 

Did your kit come with an oil restrictor for the oil feed line?



or just an adapter, that will allow the excessive oil pressure reaching the CHRA to cause interal damage:

 

yea the kit came with a oil restrictor. I will try an post the pictures up tonight. I think it is possible it could be an over oiled filter like you guys say but it just seems to be a little too much oil to be coming from the filter... but i dunno i will get some pics as soon as i can for you guys. Thanks for all the help.

 

what color is the oil?

 

well im not going to be able to get any pictures up since my camera is broken... the oil is not real dirty or black. i would believe that it could be the filter however when i took the filter out it left alot of oil on my hands. it seemed a bit much to be coming from an over oiled filter. plus when i bought the filter new it said that it was pre oiled but the filter did not seem oily at all. so im not sure why all this oil would be coming out of the filter now... when i got the turbo from a-spec all the bolts inbetween the turbo housing were loose... i guess this was so i could position the turbo where i wanted too...... but anyway i tried tightning those inside bolts as best as i could. If some of those bolts are tight enough or somthin, could this cause oil to mist out the intake housing?
