Oil inside intercooler?
Took my tmic out and found lotsa oil inside the intercooler, where do they come from and what harm would it cause? :confused:
i do have an oil catch tank. CHeers Ken |
Oil catch can isnt working properly. Oil blow by and intercooler build up is normal on the ej20. It's normal, BUT, in a higher state of tune it is adviseable to have a correctly working oil catch can that 'captures' the oil vapour which then gets 'emptied' at every service.

i got a catch can and still found a film of oil in my fmic
|
i have an RS with the water to are IC.. no catch can either.
i got the same issue but its not severe. |
mine is quite severe, like, i have a pool of oil in there, and when i remove the hose bit that connects the IC to the thottle body, its dripping oil.
i forgot to mention that my turbo is screwed, oil seal is gone or something, would that be the cause? turbo blowing oil thru the intercooler or something? |
Thats definately the problem mate. Get your turbo overhauled or replaced and the prob will go away. A turbo will always let a very small amount of oil thru the seals.

Are you sure its your turbo? I had similar sympthons, andneeded a new motor
|
yea, gonna replace the turbo..
a new motor? shiat, well, i'll find out if its the turbo after replacing. |

shortmotor or longmotor? I had a massive oil leak and was fixed after my shortmotor was replaced. |
