    Strong Smell of Oil/Gas after CC and VC Install

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Need some help running this one down. About a month ago I installed an 034 CC and Eurojet VC. Ever since then, I'm getting a really strong smell of oil/gas coming from the engine bay. The smell seems to be coming from the catch can area, but I've double-checked all my hoses and they are secure. Even when I take the top pipe of the CC and smell the can, it doesn't smell exactly like the odor I'm trying to track down. I'm not getting any oil leaks. The car is running fine with no codes. Idle vacuum right at 21.

    I do have custom piping mating up the Eurojet VC and 034 CC. I'm routing my crankcase hose and my VC hose into a T-fitting and then to the side of the CC. I'm routing the top of the CC over to the turbo inlet. Everything seems to be fine with the CC setup, but this seems to be the most likely culprit. Any ideas? Picture of my setup:

    08 Cab 2.0T CVT, REVO Stage 2+, 034 HFC, IC piping, TIP, and catch can, APR HPFP, Carbonio, ER DSMIC's, Devils Own W/M, BFI snub mount, RS4 sway bar, Rokkor c/o's, R8 replica 18's, TTS MFSW w/ paddles, RS4 grill

    If you had a Vent-To-Atmosphere (VTA) Catch can, I'd tell you that it is entirely normal, however, it looks like the 034 CC is a recirc. setup. Check all of your lines/fittings/etc. to ensure that they're not leaking or seeping oil. Feel free to email me directly if you have any other questions! [email protected]

    John - thanks for the reply (love the VC by the way). It's weird because the smell seems to be coming from the top of the CC, yet I'm getting no seepage or oil anywhere, and I've double-checked all the hoses and connections. I'll keep looking and try to get some more pics.
