Default WTF.. a whole mess load of problems today..

First off I pulled into the parking area to take my series 7 test and the bearior was kroocked so when i pulled in my bumper got cought on i and craked my s4 fromt bumper.. partially my fault i needed to replace one of the bumper guards.. well i failed my test and i came home to fix my s4 front bumper to find oil leaking out of my intercooler..
Now to me that usally only means one thing.. my turbo is beat.. or it could just be the blow by from my bad valve seals.. but i would asume my gt28rs days are numbered.. what a shiiity day..

i can't think of any other way that oil would get in your intercooler. whatever it is, its gotta be coming from the turbo.

Did you inspect the turbo to see if oil is on it also?

yea outlet pipe is wet on the turbo but i do know that I also get oil on the inlet from my valve seals it dosnet look like anything more then usual on the outlet so it might just be from the seals.. i wont really know till i take the whole thing apart i a few weeks

Check your PCV valve and your turbo intake pipe. For some reason I just found that I have oil coming in befor the turbo from it. Don't really know why.
