Well i had a bit coming from when i had a vta and a small amount in the neck of the tmic spoke to Triton (Ringo iirc) and said what else can you expect from an old car. the 1 mentioned in the htread sounds like it has been ragged everywhere all the time. |

as long as its not pluming smoke out the back i wouldnt worry about it. all turbos pass a certain amount of oil past the seals |

My car does the same thing. When ever I remove the intake piping, there is a small amount of oil inside. I would say, as long as theres no blue smoke and the car isn't drinking oil then you should be fine. I've been told its to be expected on older cars. |
