adam1983 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Took the air filter off to give it a good clean yesterday and noticed a small pool of oil collecting in the air filter pipe. Is this normal? Is it anything I should be worried about? If so what checks can I do to narrow down what the issue is? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 A misting of oil in the pipes is normal. Take one of your intercooler hoses off and take a look, if theres not a load in there, just a misting, it's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Clean it all up and monitor it, assuming you haven't done this before that could be a couple of months of accumulation of a few years and many many thousands of miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 What sort of filter are you using mate? Some filters require oiling after cleaning and sometime this can leave a little residue like you are seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1983 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 The filter is a blitz sonic cone style filter which comes inside a metal housing. I cleaned it up after taking photos so will monitor and see how it gets on. Hopefully nothing to worry about but will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
