Oil coming out my bov? need help?

So recently I had installed injen full pipe kit and intake. I've always had a blitz bov. When changing out the piping I noticed when taking apart my maf there was some oil like subtance in their. Didn't think much of it and cleaned it up so when I do decide to put it back on it I won't have to mess with it. Now that my vent piece is facing the front towards the head light, i'm noticing the same oil like subtance that seams to becoming out of my bov. Looking more into it I see oil leaking out a bit were the hose for bov meets the uicp. What could be causing that? should I be concerned or is this normal? my car has always ran fine with the new and old piping. only difference is that p0300 comes up more often. any ideas would help. I have 86k on it and tuned with stage 1 cobb for now.

an oil catch can should help with any oil that is dripping through the pipes. How much oil are we talking about? Clean the MAF with the special spray cleaner (available at any auto parts store, CRC makes it) and see if it happens again after youve installed a catch. Should do the trick. What is your mods list? Bigger turbo?

With that many miles, could even be oil from the turbo.

I would also suggest getting the compression test and leak down. you might be getting some blowby too.

Will excessive blowby cause a problem if I I don't get it checked soon?

I say everyone with a turbo engine should own a compression gauge since it's cheap. Check compression first to make sure your still in good running order then a catch can if everything checks out.
