I noticed a when I when I was changing gears a loud air blow off noise recently and when I popped the hood the big pipe that says turbo intercooler that runs over the engine (not exactly a pro with motors lol) had popped off. Easy to put back on but I noticed a fair bit of oil in the pipe and it had leaked onto the top of the motor. Can someone please help, is this anything to worry about and is it ok to drive as is?

If you take off any intercooler pipes in future you will probably notice a bit in there too. Way around it is to buy a catch can if you wanted to but not needed.

The oil probably hasn't been burning off because the crossover pipe was disconnected for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might explain the ' being replaced, you're not the only one it affects so don't worry about it. When the oil is sent back into the intake pipe of the crossover (bit on top of engine) it gets sucked in to the turbo by the compressor, then passes through the intercooler and in to the intake manifold. No prizes for guessing where it goes after that hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the joins and pipes etc don't sit completely flush, that is where the liquid build up usually settles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
