is this normal BOV?

[GTR 94]

well i was just checking out my front bar today and had a look in the front vent at my BOV and found that one of them is full of oil? is this normal it probably has never been cleaned since it was put on but should they have oil comming out of them? thanks.

hey ecr33 i dont have a r32 or a gtr but i dont think oil coming out of the bov is normal. does it drip out or is it like greasy sticky substance?

If your motor breathing a little bit... its going into the intake from the turbo and then into the pipes.

When you release, easiest plave for the oil to go it out the hole

Over a long time i guess it would add up.

Although that is a bit!

Could be fixed by getting a catch-can... if not then start looking for motor test - compression/leak-down

its only comming out of one of the BOV's and its dried and sticky its not running out like a leak.

weird..

just take them both off, wash them both with degreaser, spray them both with WD40 and connect them back up.

see if it goes like that in a few weeks time.

execive blow back, but shouldnt be out of one.

that is not a good sign. Possibly the reason it's only coming out of one is that the other one isn't working?

there really shouldn't be that much oil in your intake pipes.

hmm well thanks guys, i dont know wheather to be greatful or scream in anger, ill deffinatly see if i can get em off tommorow and give em a clean and hopefull they stay clean, there is certainly no probem with the car at the moment it is pulling and boosting fine so hopefully its just some excess oil from some where ????????????
