installing new radiator and found a **** load od oil collected in the bottom of my intercooler.Is this normal?Where is it coming from

 

umm its comming from your turbos... time for a rebuild.. or a new set. hey, maybe gods telling you to go single...

 

Some blow by is normal, you can get a catch can to fix that. If it's alot then like willjs7 said you might need to rebuild the turbos or get a new set.

 

figured that,just making sure.im not a ******* ase certified mechanic.but thank you

 

tttttturbo blow by

 

Define '**** load', and how long the oil has been accumulating (since IC was installed, or since you last dumped it out -- how many months/miles). It might be normal. I used to get ~3 ounces in the bottom of my IC every 5K miles or so.

intercooler installed in august 05,since then ive driven from philly to atlanta to colorado,in colorado for a few months then back to atlanta(military)theres just about a shot glass full in each side.but id say5-7000 miles so maybe thats not too bad

 

nah, u should be fine for now... i would save some money for new turbos in the future though

 

dang that is alot of oil. any pix?

 

Depending on how your system is vented, that's normal. Or at least that's what I've found from extensive searching.

 

That sounds normal to me.
