Turbocharger oil blow by
Hi Guys,
I tried to search on this one, but didn't come up with anything.
I had to remove the airbox on my car recently to do some "leaf cleaning," as as part of that process I noticed some oil inside the throttle body.
When I noticed the oil, I traced it back to the driver side turbo charger boost tube leading to the y-pipe.
I know that some oil blow by with turbos is normal, but just wondered if it is normal for this car. Has anyone else noticed this?
My car is a 2008 and has about 7200 miles on it.
Thanks for any information.
