I was changing my TB today and got a closer look at my oil leak. I always thought that I was getting blow-by out my oil filler cap. I had replaced the seal before but it still leaked. Never thought too much about it until today.
Oily Before Pics...
After TB and cleaning...
If you look at the TB and cleaning pictures. Those oil spots are splatters from somewhere. I had driven around the block once at slow speeds to get the engine temp up. I have no idea where it is coming from.
Questions.
Could the EGR valve be going bad and shooting oil out somehow?
Is my turbo going bad and dumping oil in my intake?
(There is quite a bit of oil residue in my intake system)
Would cleaning out the entire intake system stop the oil consumption?
Details about my car.
2002 ALH Automatic 235k miles and I add around a quart every 5000 mi. (but the oil consumption depends on vehicle speed ie. highway I lose more oil versus around town)
Thank you everyone in advance! I am always on here reading and learning
