Oil in intake the intake elbow?
 
Hey guy's, How much oil sitting in the intake elbow is normal? It's in the intercooler also. Car has 35k miles on it, stock original engine, turbos, and intake. Car runs fine and strong. Smokes some when first starting in the morning but clears after warming, but I remmember it always doing this. Doesn't seem like a lot of miles for the turbo seals to be leaking already does it ? Just curious to see if oil puddling in the intake is normal for this car.
Thanks,
RACRX

a little bit that has been sprayed is normal. the intake will have some from the bov, releasing into your intake box. and your ic will have some too. if you have a puddle, i dont think thats normal.

Maybe just a little bit is normal but if it seems alot than something with turbos may be wrong.
Look at the turbos from under the car, bottom of turbines if you see any oil that looks like it dripped than you most likely have a smal leak.

How often you check the oil level, and do you notice any difference in between 500-600 miles in oil level?
