The way the ct26 is put together, the bearings and seals, even when brand new, tend to leak oil into the intercooler piping, eventually letting the oil rest in the intercooler. Use gasoline and clean it all out. rince the piping and intercooler off afterwards and reattach to the car. Good luck.

Ps. I almost painted my intake manifold black... Now that i see the end result, im happy i did'nt!!!

Thanks. Will do? How do I tell if I have a CT26? It says a/r .70.

That's no ct26.
Checking codes is in the faq section.
Breathers would be better than nothing but a nice functional catch can setup would be ideal.
Oil leaking from that line on top of your turbo will burn off quickly so it may not look like it's leaking. Make sure that fitting is tight. While you're at it make sure ALL the fittings and hoses are tight.
A leaking intercoler pipe will cause the car to run like crap, fix it.
Oil in the intercooler is not uncommon but excessive oil in the intercooler might mean the turbo is about to check out.
Keep at it, it gets worse before it gets better but after some time, research and money it will get better.

I'm hoping to find a write up on the oil pump. If anyone knows of any I would greatly appreciate it. Also, we discovered an oil leak around the pump area. Do you think that could be it?
