Oil in the inlet tube??

[svt2003cobra]

I took my throttle body off and the inlet tube behide it, There was some oil in the inlet tube and quite a bit in the supercharger. Is this a common thing in these vehicles, Im sure it comes from the pcv. Just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this?

Its common in all vehicles equipped the positive crankcase ventilation. The engine burns its crankcase vapors. some of the vapors fall out of suspension and the oil droplets collect in the intake tract. its normal and benign.


I happen to like clean air and its not costing you any power.

About oil in the Intake

I bought Steeda's "Oil Separator Kit." It solved the problem!

It's normal but coats the hell out of the intercooler. I just installed to KB's back to back and both IC's were covered in oil. It will hurt air flow and will reduce the effenciency of the IC'c. I flushed both with gas, blew carb cleaner and then high pressure air threw both. The mesh on the IC is superfine and you can barely see through a cleaned one. Imagine what a liberal coat of oil does.
