I was just making the air box mod and was concerned to find oil sitting in the air intake tube between the MAF and the blower. Is this common or should I take it to dealer and have it looked at? I hope this has not been asked before. If so, I am sorry for the repeat question.

dont worry about it. it is the crank case relieving pressure. If you want to get ride of it you will either need to get a collector can or an oil breather cap. The cap requiers a chip so that the PCM doesn't freak out with the decreasing in oil pressure.

 

Thanks, Spade$. I was a little concerned at first, but when I looked at the intake tube there seemed to be drain lines down the the head cover. I soaked up the standing oil with a rag and reinstalled the air filter minus the bottom of the air box. I wanted to try the air box mod without hacking up the box. Thanks again.

does anyone know what causes this??? my intake is bone dry!!is it because of the boost drawing the oil up there or something like that???

 

SVT360: Most of us think/know that it's the s/c pressurizing the crankcase that forces the oil up into the intake.

Spade$: Didn't you mean 'crankcase' pressure?
