alot of fresh oil in the air intake

[bendertrend]

just removed the plastic that forms air intake from infront of the air inlet butterfly and found alot of fresh oil pooled inside of it and running down from the butterfly.

the amount of oil seems to be far in excess of "blow by". i also noticed there is a plastic pipe connected to this plastic air intake that runs back into the rocker cover above the last cylinder ( passenger side) is this here help remove excess oil but???

VE calais 135000 kms hmm thinking this maybe the time to trade in. also has " strecthed timing chain " fault.

Check your PCV operation.

thanks. finally i have been able to look at the car again. the PCV was gummed up pretty bad so a thorough clean and a long drive later all seems to be ok.
thanks again

What brand of catch can do you have?

had noticed the oil/gum in intake duct when I had put my CAI, right after that I also used CatchCan and it took care of it.

I'd recommend Saikou Michi catch cans, rigid and sleek.

How big is the catch can? cannot decide between 500mL or 1L. Also how often do you empty it (might help me decide on the size)?

Cheers mate
