Oil in Intake how much is normal?
I have a 91 GS turbo that I am in the process of fixing up. One of the things I am doing is rebuilding the turbo. It has for most of its life leaked a lot of oil into the intake. There is always a good bit in the intake and it also seeps through the rubber hose joints and runs out. How much of this oil leakage is normal. The seals are just a piston ring around the shaft so I can't imagine that being an oil tight seal. I bought the car new and it has 120,000 miles on it. Nothing, engine wise, has been replaced accept the belts and the water pump since it was new. Oh yeah, I did crack a manifold and replaced that. The turbo has no end play but there is some side to side play.
