Dirty oil in inlet pipe

[PulsarLee]

Hi,

not sure if i should be worried:? changed the oil and filter recently, but the other day i was checking for play in my turbo shaft, however when i took the flexi inlet pipe from the air filter off, these was a couple of drips of dirty oil drip out of the air inlet pipe..........
my r still has tmic etc running 0.8 bar with exhaust and hks air filter. I know ive been getting some smoke on over run and gear change. suspected turbo but could this be oil coming from the rocker into the inlet pipe??? should this pipe be totally free from oil? I guess this is why some have the catch tanks. but is it notmal to get some oil in this pipe - if so how much.

thanks guys,

Lee

If you've still got the crank case breather connected, you'll get a bit of oil in the inlet pipework; it is supposed to go back into the sump, but if it's quite a fine spray it will get into the inlet.

How was the turbo; if it seems fine it might be that you're getting a lot of oil blowing out of the crank case.
What grade oil did you use?

hi,

using 10 - 40 fully synthetic elf oil however, previous oil was filthy when i got the car and i was stupid enough to top it up woth 5 - 30 once. Not sure how long the oil in the inlet pipe had been there may have been old i hopr judging by the colour of it.

can you tell me how to check all the breathers and where they are. tbh i only thought there was the main rocker breather that goes into the inlet air pipe - about 20mm dia.


cheers,
