Unhappy What did i break now?

Ok, i have noticed oil spraying on the inside of my hood, and finally tracked it down as coming from the coupling from my IC. So i am guessing i am blowing an engine seal (apex or main) or my turbos. This seems only happen at high boost and revs, like at the track.



Background; i am running the rotary extreme V-mount, so apparently i have been have a little leak for sometime bud didn't notice it, i guess those big couplers are not making a good seal. Anyway the oil is coming from battery side of the IC so i am guessing i have oil in my IC too, this is bad, very bad.

Same thing is happening to me too. BNR Stage 3s with 13k miles and RE V-Mount setup. il is spraying out of my BOV on the battery side. I don't see how the oil seals could be bad already.. what else could it be?

My oil filler neck is vented to my primary turbo inlet, btw.

If you have that much oil in your intercooler, especially on the driver's side, your turbos are shot.

i blew my set of efinis' oil galore, out the tailpipe and out the BOV. everytime that BO opened up under boost. it coated my engine bay. if it was an engine seal it would only be burngin it. if its in the intake ctract it either means that in the case of a bad engien seal you're getting hardore blowby that's getting sucking intot he turbos and blow into the intake tract (a catcchcan will diagnose and eliminate this if it's the case) otherwise its the turbos oil seal leaking oil into the compressor. one way to test this:

take off all the piping on teh primary turbo including Ypipe and all that ****.

let teh engine idle. see if oil is filling up the housing. i looked at mine after it blew, let it run and oil literally was spilling out of the turbo outlet
