    Oil in hose above IC

    I’m guessing this is a sign of turbos failing?
    Does this mean the ICs are full of oil too, and can they be flushed? Or do I need new ones?


    Thanks in advance

    Car is still boosting normally and have yet to hear the infamous drill noise.

    Could just be a bad PCV, lots of things can cause oil in the intake tract, I'd start with the cheapest potential issue.

    I'm no PCV whiz by any means, oil in the intake isn't a terribly uncommon thing for these cars, of coarse it depends on how much oil we takin' bout?
    Like oil film, or like a quart of oil sitting in there?
    Mark it Zero

    even with a perfect pcv, oil is still gonna get in there. Depends on how much driving you do really.

    Pretty minimal driving with this car, only about 1200 miles/year. I'll take a look at the PCV, thanks!
