Wet Intake Manifold AFTER EGR Delete

[mxc]

ok, put in an 03 turbo and had the intake elbow out, i noticed inside the intake manifold that it was pretty wet/oily.

i did an egr delete a couple months back, and i've since switched to cat ELC, haven't lost any coolant or had any white residue around the degass bottle. when i did the delete, i cleaned the intake manifold good with carb cleaner and let it dry before i reinstalled it. there was still some carbon inside but it was very minimal and there was definitely no wetness.

any ideas what's going on inside my truck?

Have you checked your oil level?

[mxc]

yeah check the oil about every other day before i go to work.

could it be from the turbo seals leaking?

That's what I am thinking but you would notice your oil level dropping.

How about your CCV? Have you modded its dumping location or is it still stock?

Is there oil buildup in your intercooler?

stock ccv set up. i had my ic pipes off when i did the turbo and they were clean inside.

would i have to pull the intercooler to be able to check for oil buildup?

No, you could just pull off the hot side pipe and look in with a flashlight.

ok, will do that when i install new riff raff boots this weekend.

definitely looks and feels like oil.

Also, is there any color or smell coming from your exhaust?

my intake is wet from oil all the time now after the delete. no carbon, just an oily sheen from the turbo/ccv

i was getting a lot of white smoke on cold starts but that was from llosing the #4 injector, it was replaced and then the rest smoke was from injector stiction and it cleared up with rev x.

so now, no smoke on cold starts but i do have a strong odor smells like oil/fuel. burns my nose/eyes when i get close to the exhaust haha.
