Wet IC from BOV?

Anyone noticed this or have traced oil found in upper IC pipe to your aftermarket BOV?

I've noticed this w/ Forge Recirc and was informed by someone that replacing their HKS BOV w/ other brand solved it.

Anyone???

That oil is from the breather that goes to the Intake pipe.
Wait your talking about the upper IC? I don't see how you are getting oil in there regardless of diverter valve.

i noticed this with my forge i was thinkin possibly it could have came from where you have to grease the valve... perhaps you overgreased or it was over greased from the factory. Basically i dont know about you but my forge valve is a real piece of shiznit it just plain sucks...
