oil in air box

[jammin james]

90 vnt smokes at idle. found a little oil in intercooler hoses and air box. would this be turbo or pvc. turbo has 30,000 miles on dealer replacement.

I'd change the cheap PCV valve first.

I noticed the oil coming from my crankcase breather, so I took a filter, stuck it on the end of the breather pipe and pointed it upwards s oil doesnt leak out, has worked great.

had same problem last week and i bought another motor. i thought it was burning oil but come to fund out the turbo was leaking oil into the intercooler hoses. took my intercooler off and it was full of oil. about two quarts.

I never run the PCV to the airbox, I run it to the street. Takes that out of the equation.

Were your Turbo seals shot? Mine has oil in the intercooler hoses, and
car will not rev past 2000rpm, did not notice any smoke.
