Still oil in the intercooler

[Big_daddy]

Following the previous thread, were my turbo seals were gone causing oil in the ic/ and smoking on idle.
After 1 and half month (REPLACED THE TURBO) it still smoking on the odd occasion, i removed the hot side of the intercooler and there seem to be alot of oil as it dripped of the pipe
So where is the oil coming from? I have a catch installed (inc pvc valve) before turbo was changed. Is it the turbo? AGAIN!??

Did you clean out your intercooler and pipework?

Yes, when you remove ic of the turbo there was quite some oil there too.

You'd be amazed how much oil the pipework and IC core can hold even though it looks clean.

I found running turps or white spirit through the core and pipe work was the only thing to clean it properly.
