oil in lower intercooler pipe?
I was changing out my intercooler and found oil in my intercooler pipe on the passenger lower intercooler pipe. Is that normal?

Blowby, unfortunate byproduct of a turbo vehicle. Get a good catch can.

if i'm right you need some pressure under the valve cover. There is a pressure sensor backside on the valve cover. So the breather is not really a best idea.
