Default Ummm wtf???

Hey guys popped my hood to change my air filter and happend to look over at my intake horn and it looks like I have oil or something in the boost gauge tube? What the heck is up with that? It can't be normal, What is going on here?

sounds like you have a oil leak in the turbo did you pull the boot off of the air side of the turbo. There is probably oil on the fins of the turbo. That is what it sounds like to me

So I pulled the boot off the air side of the turbo and it looks pretty normal no wet oil or nothing.

Well that is good that there is no oil in there on the turbo fins. Not to sure where else you could be getting oil from to have it in the boost gauge line. Maybe someone else has an idea about this.
