Oil in intake/ 05' 6.0

[blowinsmoke33]

Noticed oil on underside of hood...problem has gotten worse over time..degreased engine to see where oil was coming from and noticed oil at intake and enter cooler tube boot... took boot off.. noticed excessive oil inside boot..must be blowing out under boost normal or not... recently did egr delete, head studs and everything you are suppose to do to 6.0????

Crank case venting into intake like normal?

[blowinsmoke33]

Yes.. but seems like a lot of oil to be coming from crank case??

Oil inside the boots to intercooler is normal. The oil will degrade the boots and cause them to either split and leak, or just come off under boost. Totally normal since the CCV is vented into the turbo intake. My turbo to intercoller pie would have oil laying in it prior to rerouting the CCV.

Best bet is to reroute the CCV (there is a fellow on this forum who has one for about 100$), or just do a reroute on your own. You will need to repalce the boots, as the oil has ruined them, and they will continue to fall apart even if you clean the oil off of them.

Other choice would be to replace to boots every 100k miles (or however long they have lasted for you...)

I reread the OP. Oil on the underside of the hood isn't normal though. It could be from an intercooler boot having a tear in it and the boost blowing it up.
I'd clean it all up good, and then see where the oil starts showing up first.

K thanks, did not know about the boots going bad. I thought mine was real soft.
