Oil In Intercooler!

[jazza08]

Hey peeps,

I found there to be alot of oil in the intercooler itself and the pipes... i was wondering what can cause this!

I had my catch can set up incorrectly before and it seemed to flood nearly everything with oil as it had no breather lines so the pressure forced oil all over the place (boost controller line, turbo oil seal, exhaust and seems to be the intercooler aswell!

Ive been told the best way to clean it is to use kerosene as it will disolve the oil and then just clean each and every pipe one by by and make sure they are dry before putting them back.

Would the catch can incorrectly hooked up be the reason behind this? Obviously it seemed to happen when the catch can was incorrectly installed and the car was driven.

Anyone got any tips on cleaning out the intercooler or is there a DIY site/thread on it?

Thanks all, guess my saturday is pretty well booked out all mornin/arvo lol
