So im doing my exhaust manifold gasket and when i pulled off the intake the was oil in my intake tubing..it is coming from the breather hose that comes out of the valve cover and goes into the air inlet elbow on the turbocharger..how do i fix it and why is it doing this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Either a bad PCV valve, or you've got blowby (pretty common)

some thing happens to my turbo eclipse. what people do is block the breather nipple on the intake. then attach a oil catch can to the valve cover.

yeah i thought it was the pcv..but i wasnt sure..could this be the reason my car smokes only when at cold startup and after i have been sitting at idle because it has time to pool and then it burns it off??

also what about puting just a breather element in the valve cover nipple and blocking the hole in the turbo inlet??
