New 06 ix owner

Finally, I purchased my Apex Silver IX after a few months of looking for one. Got it with 25,365 miles for $22,300. I noticed it had a tiny oil leak coming from the turbo (believe its a seal). The car has intake, downpipe, exhaust, bigger intercooler, bov, coils and rims.

Congrats on getting the IX!

Hmm that doesn't sound good with only 25k miles....

Hope it isn't anything major. Who knows what that car has been through with those mods.

congrats on your purchase!

most oil pans will sweat... and black smoke is normal. if it is white or blue id be worried.

place to check for a leak.... behind your oil cap, on the back of the valvecover, to the left of the PCV 90 degree elbow. mine was leaking out of that little hole there.

have fun with it
