I can't see why there should be any oil in the air inlet system, from the intake through to the inlet manifold, not unless there's something amiss such as a breather blocked or a failed oilseal in the turbo, but those are possible causes, not the actual one. Careful checking will be needed to isolate the reason.
I will repeat. Some oil in the turbo pipes is NORMAL. That is why you are supposed to flush out the intercooler at service intervals. A lot could mean the PCV is not working correctly or the oil separator needs cleaning.
A small piece of filter foam wedged into the pipe before it connects to the valve and replacing it every oil change, is a good idea ...
This keeps any oil in the breather pipe and not the intake tract, but lets the crankcase breath properly....
Don't just bung it up or you'll start blowing oil out of the dipstick... and that's not a good thing ...
Sorry, did it on my phone, checked it, didnt see it.....reposted..now i realised why ...wrong section.SEE REPLIES IN THE OTHER THREAD
