Oil in Turbo & Intake

So today I put my dejon spring in so i took off my factory intake and i noticed black oil about 2"'s long into goin the intake there in black sticky oil in it and then i look into the turbo and fresh gold oil drops in the inlet on the turbo.....some back round info on this car has a 30% leak down on #3 cylinder and 10% on #1 & 2 and 2% on #4 if this has anything to do wit it. im not sure how turbos run since this is my first turbo'd car...btw car has 16K miles...what do u guys think?!? ill have the dealer look at it next oil change

thanks guys for your imput

oil leaks into the airbox/turbo when it passes through the breather for the valve cover. noticed some oil also in the elbow of my factory air box when I installed my dejon spring. hasn't given me any problems thus far and that was 10,000 miles ago.

iff you have a bad leak down test do a sea foam to it, so your valve close completely..... if you have a bad leak doen test i say you have a issue with ringlands

its normal for some oil but not a bad leak down tests.. so sea foam your car since d.i injection cars like to gum up and cause issues. and do a compression test and then do another leak down test to see if results changed

put 1/4 in your oil, 1/2 through your brake booster hose, or another vacuum line off the intake, 1/4 in gas tank, when doing the intake mani part, suck 1/2 up turn the car off for 3-5 mins and run it then drive it. thisis the best way ive done it

really^^^^^^ u know anything of di injection. if not then ill let you kinow why we do. DI injection gums up bad, top of pistons, ect. Ecspecialy when tuned for more boost and fuel, So when this happens we lose comporession and so forth so this is why we sea foam. Nothing is wrong with sea foaming. i sea foam my casr every oil change to make sure i get the 100% best out of my car. .........

So does every car, what's your point?

Your next thread will be "Did seafoaming just **** up all my sensors and cat?"

That stuff was the **** back in the carburetor days, but with modern sensors you're going to **** **** up.

If you got that much carbon buildup, it's time to take your tuner out back and put them out of their misery haha. It's not being tuned that does this, it's the tuners inability to get the right air/fuel ratio that causes the excess buildup. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ u know anything of gasoline!!!11

And the carbon buildup is probably from blowby dipshit, not because engineers decided on using direct injection, get a catch can.

yes oil change is required. And numb nuts up top. U have no clue who u are talking to with that idiot attitude. By far d.i are not a mpi system or a port fueler. So since u have no clue wut your talking about please leave this thread. and tuning , i had my old lnf engine tore aprt and guess wut, no carbon build up, but if i were to not sea foam my car it would have build up becase of the way the injectors spray lame. trust me on this ive been using sea foam for a long long time, and not one have i fu**ed anything up , the worst i did was spill seafoam on my shirt, i mean really bro ..
