Exclamation Oil in UIM?
The other day i was just taking a gander at my FD and noticed that there was a minute amount of oil leaking out of the gasket b/t the throttle body and the UIM....is this a big problem and what could be causing it?

If you inspect the rest of your intake (elbow, intercooler) expect to find a film of oil in there too. Small amounts of blow-by is normal for the stock turbos.
