Jolbaru_LGT Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 So, when removing the TMIC, I noticed oil in the hose that I'm assuming is the intake? It's the hose connection that goes into the TMIC closest to the driver's side. What does this mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRYPTO Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 there will be some oil in there from normal blow by from engine/turbo, if its excessive could be turbo going out or pcv issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I light mist of oil on the turbo side is common. On the TB side is a bit more then normal. How much oil, got and pictures ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Jolbaru_LGT Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 I light mist of oil on the turbo side is common. On the TB side is a bit more then normal. How much oil, got and pictures ? I cleaned it up already. Not a lot of oil, just a small pool in the bottom of the hose that connects to the TMIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDFTW Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I'd check/change your PCV. May look into a air oil separator or a catch can. Grimmspeed's AOS (suggest used if you can find one, don't think they work well enough for their premium new price) works well for minor blow by. Crawford or IAG are better for moderate to heavy.
