Default IC piping oil film....

I thought out passenger side piping was typically more wet than the drivers side? When I changed my oil yesterday I got curious so I took off both sides and the passenger side was bone dry, drivers side was just abrely wet, no pooling, just felt a tad gooey. I think I feel better about my turbos, for now.

Default

Driver's side is usually wet because of crankcase breather.

Default Well, not so good because people have had driver side IC hoses pop off after they got soft from..

.. soaking in oil. I'm trying to put in an air/oil separator to stop all that oil getting into the y-pipe.

I'm glad you like my sig :-) Not many people have gotten the connection between S4gasbord (a play on smorgasbord. I know, weak) and the Swedish Chef.
