Oil in air intake pipe????

womble · 23-02-2006, 06:11 PM

Hi guys,

Had the pipe of for a look and noticed after the afm that it was a bit oily inside. I'm guessing coming from one of the pipes that comes from the manifold area into that pipe. Should this be happening or is there a problem somewhere?? Any help is appreciated thanks

small amount of oil residue is normal, if it's drenched, you may have a blow by problem - rings may be farked causing combustion pressure leaking, forcing oil out the breather pipe connected to the intake pipe.

wipe it clean and check it in a month - if it drenched again in 1 month then you have a problem.

Yaeh its from your PCV and is totally normal (as Ryan said as long as its not drenched)
Can be rectified with a catch can fitted
