Now, that I finally got my boost problems resolved, I am getting little splotches of oil on top of my intake elbow or right before the throttle body. It's not much, maybe a drop or two. Boost is normal and no blue or smoke coming from the exhaust and the same for the engine bay. Water temps are fine and car is fast as hell. I recently changed from 10-30 oil to 20-50...Will this cause that?

I hope my turbos aren't screwed. I finally got it running perfect, now this. Please shed some light if you know anything about this.

Thanks,

PS_Yes I searched and not much help there.

I noticed the same thing, but my car is running fine as well. Although i originally thought it was oil, i now think it might be a power steering fluid leak that got blown up there with the car moving. When the car is moving anything that is leaking can end up everywhere. I just wrote the residue i noticed at the seem of the elbow off to that, but if you aren't leaking anything anywhere, then i'm very curious as to what may be causing this....

Anyone else??

The rubber o-ring in the throttle body that seals the intake elbow has hardened and you are seeing a little bit of blow by from the turbos.

I have a new O-ring and I'm changing the Upper manifold gasket as well.
