I have a small oil leak form the throttle body. just want to ask if it is normal and i have nothing to worry about. I work at and oil change place and when i brought the car in to tighten up the intercooler hoses i saw that my pressure pipe form my throttle body to the intercoller had a nice film of oil on it. Not enough to drip but enough that the whole pipe is covered with oil. The car only has 6000 miles on it. Also when i was tightening up the hoses i took off the air intake hoses and had about enough oil that would of made about a good 3 drops sitting right on the lower part of the turbo. Just want to know if this is normal because i have a small OCC and i empty that thing out once every couple of weeks. Please help thanks.

 

Do you have a air intake? If so, you'll need a 2nd OCC......

Man that is totally normal you need to get a bigger occ that is if you are filling the one you have other than that you might check you pcv valve and get a new one and I know that PTperformance has a check valve you can install that might help with oil and pressurizing of the crank case this happens when your PCV valve goes bad you loose boost into your crank case

 

yeah i have a check valve that i bought from Grainger and put it on. The OCC never gets full. It is the small Cambell Haussen that i got from autozone. It always gets about half way and i empty it. The only mods i have is the OCC, check valve, and the mopar BOV. I put all those things on at about 1500 and it has 6000 on it know. Is oil coming from the other valve on the total opposite side of the PCV valve that it goes in to the air box? What is the second oil catch can?

 

The second oil catch can goes from the crank (where that hose is on the right directly across from the pcv) into a breather (those little tiny tiny air filters from autozone).

I have that film on my intercooler hose too. My cold side has been like that forever....nothing accumulates in the intercooler, but its always been on that pipe, even when I had the OCC.

 

thanks so i have nothing to worry about. sweetness.

 

Nope you dont, alot of them have that problem even with a catchcan...and Im not too sure why. Depends on the car I guess.

 

Its Normal, your choice to get a catch can, I've chosen not to run one.

 

LSP, Is this to mean that you no longer use an occ(s)??
I don't run them yet either, and I guess I question if I need to....
