I took my induction kit off to have my alarm fitted and I found a tiny bit of oil in the induction pipe. Does anyone know if this is normal or what I could do to stop it from happening? | ||||

Yes that's normal if you've been driving quite hard, the engine will be sucking hard, the crankcase breather pipe will be connected to the induction pipe. Thats where the oil will come from. The only problem over time is that the butterfly in the throttle body will become dirty and need cleaning. To get around this you could fit one of these - Click Here - , so the oil sucked will end up in the catch tank not into the engine. |
